Gay Man Survives Hammer Attack

I can't wait to hear the victim's version of the build up to the attack.

Seems unlikely that it was just random.

I bet it has been building up for a long time and i bet either pharmaceuticals or illegal drugs contributed to a psychosis. It wouldn't surprise me if the attacker thought he was drug raped or something like that.

We won't find out though, the british justice system never shares the motives of the perpetrators and just dismisses it as "mental health problem".

Like that guy who stabbed that girl (Christina Edkins) on the bus in Birmingham, i said it was a racially motivated attack, the police said it was not, it was just a mental health related attack. This incident is not a homophobic related attack, it was just a mental health related attack?


On another note: the landlord is partly responsible for not taking in to consideration the preferences of his tenants when selecting tenants. I would not be comfortable house sharing with a homosexual, but i would simply move out the house. Why would the victim not move out the house (or not move in) if he knows his house mate is not comfortable sharing the house with him. Why would anyone continue living with someone who does not want them to be there and who has most likely already shown signs of violence to some extent.

Imho the attacker said or did something he never wanted talking about ever and was prepared to go to prison for life to keep it quiet.

Prison is definitely the wrong place to go to hide your homosexual problems!

Violence, aggression, condemnation or when taken to the extreme of behaviour (excessive violence) in the light of the inability to face a choice or action the person deems to be inappropriate isn't that unheard of.

Reaction formation it's called, which is why I can't help for feel for some homophobes out there - clearly fighting a losing battle with their own sexual security & pride. Ironically fearing being something which in reality there is nothing wrong with to begin with. What needless manufacturing of misery.

My guess for this is is more likely to be garden variety homophobic tendencies coupled with mental illness (making his reaction so extreme).

Has anyone ever told you what a nice chap you are? I'm guessing not.

Clearly you have some sort of reading retardation. Missing the bit where I state in particular he doesn't deserve to be hurt. I can just understand how it could be irritating.

You sound like a thoroughly unpleasant individual. It doesn't matter how irritating you find something you don't bury a hammer in someone's head. There are ways of dealing with your irritation that are much more socially acceptable.

The idea that it's some how even slightly explainable because of how the guy *might* have behaved is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

It doesn't make it right but there are all kinds of ways it could be explainable without it being anything but an objective viewpoint to suggest it.

The method of attack however does not really suggest lashing out from frustration but something more ugly and pre-meditated.

I do wonder whether the motivation was simply because the man was gay or because he was a complete mincing flouncer. From an expanded version of the story I read elsewhere the guilty party said to friends sometime before the attack that he couldn't stand the guy and was going to end up hurting him. That to me says it's more than an inherent dislike of his sexuality but someone truly reaching the end of their tether with someone they cannot stand to be around but are forced to endure.
Doesn't justify beating his skull in with a hammer but I can understand why being forced to live with someone like that might drive you to violence.

what you think he was "mincing" particularly loudly while he slept?
