And that Paladino’s comments come on the heels of the bust of a gay-bashing torture gang in the Bronx highlights the irony.
The latest incident, allegedly perpetrated by nine youths from the Latin King Goonies gang, took anti-gay bias to a horrific new level.In what New York’s police commissioner described as a “wolf-pack” attack, the mob allegedly forced a 17-year-old into a deserted Bronx basement apartment, stripped, beat and slashed him, before sodomizing him with a toilet-plunger handle.
His crime? The gang thought he was gay, police say.
According to police, the gang members, aged between 17 and 23 years old, then abducted another 17-year-old, who the first victim said was gay.
After tying up and beating the boy, the gang allegedly lured in a 30-year-old man who was thought to have been the second teen’s lover.
The older man was stripped, sodomized with a small baseball bat, forced to drink large quantities of alcohol, and burned with a cigarette, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
“This was a reaction to the fact that they had engaged in homosexual activity,” Kelly said.
