On Sunday night 4 young men followed a recipe for disaster that led to the death of another young man. Michael Sandy, who's 28th birthday is today, is brain dead being kept alive by machines as his family struggles with the decision to remove him from life support. Michael is the victim of a Gay Bashing robbery. The talented young man, a set designer for IKEA was lured to a park by a young man/men that he met on MySpace, the popular profile website, owned by FOX. He was ambushed by 4 young men aged 16-20 and when he ran onto a nearby parkway, he was struck by a passing car. He was described by his attackers as "an Easy Mark" because he's a gay man. I guess anyone would be an easy mark when they're outnumbered 4 to 1 by little thugs.
Take a look at John Fox, butter wouldn't melt in this little angel's mouth would it. Not an imposing figure, a slight built soft boy. The perfect bait for the trap he and his four buddies set. He and his friends contacted Michael on MySpace and through IM chat and set up a date. Michael met John Fox at a public place and they left together for the ambush.When they got to the park, a "notorious" cruising spot, Michael got out of his car with Fox and was set upon by him and the three others. He fought his way out of the pummeling and ran towards the hope of safety. They followed him, chasing him onto the busy Belt Parkway, where a car struck him. And what did these little monsters do then? Well, one of them dragged Michael to the side of the road and went through his pockets, then returned to Michael's car to see if he could steal anything valuable. Did they call for help? No, of course not, they went home. They left him bleeding at the side of the parkway but not before striking him several times as they rifled his pockets.
The suspects, John Fox 19, Ilye Shurov 20, Anthony Forunato 20 and Gary Timmins age 16, are all in custody and being questioned. Already their parents are being quoted ;
"I can't see him doing anything like this."
"He never did anything like that before, so why would he be rabidly anti-gay?"
Well, wake up call for the parents, reports are that this wasn't the first time they lured gay men to rob and beat them! And maybe YOU can't see them doing anything like this, but you should have! Kids learn hate from their parents, in the least they learn intolerance and apathy that can lead to tragedies like this.
I can already see some people trying to fling mud at the victim. Like the kids say, gay men are "Easy Marks." It happened after Mathew Shephard was killed, his murderers tried to claim Mathew made unwelcome sexual advances, trying to color public opinion against the victim.
I can't wait to see the four little "angels" in their new suits standing in court while mommy cries for the cameras. This is most definitely a hate crime, and possibly conspiracy charges should be filed, because the little bastards have done it before and if not caught would have done it again.
"Easy Marks" it's what we teach our children.
