Remember Brandon White, the effeminate, skinny jeans-wearing Atlanta man who was assaulted by a gang of thugs on Feb. 4? The 3 gang members who brutally beat White, and videotaped their actions, were slapped with 5-year prison sentences on Friday. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jackson Bedford also sentenced the thugs to 5 years probation each.
According to the AJC, a fourth suspect, Javaris Bradford, 24, who allegedly videotaped the beating, is still on the lam.
The crime made headlines worldwide because of the media attention on anti-gay bullying. (White, 20, is an out and proud gay man.)
But in a strange twist, several local gay activists wrote a letter to the judge asking for leniency for the 3 men.
Project Q Atlanta published the letter which was signed by local politician, state Rep. Simone Bell, who is an out and proud lesbian. Ms. Bell asked the judge to release the convicted men on probation — so two of them could finish high school.
An excerpt from the letter reads:
“Our primary interest is seeing an end to the homophobia that seems to have been a dominant factor in the attack on Mr. White. We do not believe that this will be accomplished by a long sentence of imprisonment….
We believe that the time each of these young men has already spent behind bars has been a significant loss of freedom. We ask that any additional term of imprisonment you impose be probated…”
On the face of it, the letter seems to be a puzzling request coming from the same gay rights organization rallied for justice and called for the arrests of the men who violated White’s civil rights.
Bell also asked requested that the men be allowed to complete their high school educations or their G.E.Ds., so that they might “move their lives in a positive direction that can ultimately serve their community.”

Sh*t, they got more time than a murderer would receive.
cocoa!
but just 5 years? hm. okay.
When will homosexuals realize and understand that the evil they face is judgement from God?
God uses one evil to destroy another evil, and at the end of it all, if the first evil ( provided the person is an Israelite ) does not repent, then he/she will destroyed too!
hey Kingstonn! I am honestly shocked by the amount of time they received.
If this dude does not repent, he will still end up dead one of these days.
I’m going to really try to cut down my blog cursing. I will just say that these young men probably ain’t thinking about finishing high school nor moving in a positive direction in their lives. And who is this group/woman to think their feelings should carry more weight than the victim’s? Will she/they adopt/mentor these young men so that they can be steered in the right direction? You know, away from jumping someone for any reason let alone solely because someone is gay?
They can finish high school in jail.
What Bird said!!!
But I thought it came out later that he had lied,and was taunting them?? Is that the truth??
they have facebook pages in jail, why can’t they attend everest online in jail?
:rollseyes: maybe i shall come back later. i’m not feeling the anti-gay bashing in the name of the lawdt this moanin
They should have went “easy” the day they decided to attack someone

:wave: I have a bargaining tool for my Grand. Yesterday she said “Gannie, I want some Whip”. I told her she had to take a bubble bath first.
“When will homosexuals realize and understand that the evil they face is judgement from God?” <——Sooooooooo only the gays need to realize this?? What about Adulterers,Bigots,Pedophiles,Judgemental people etc??
I think they deserved the time they got. Even if the boy was taunting them he didn’t deserve to be beat like that. Have fun in prison.
they can finish high school in jail or when they get out. i doubt that’s their first priority. i think the amount of time was appropriate because of the aggravating circumstances. so, if you attack a person because of their race or sexual affiliation, you will get some time added.
Phrozen…
I’m glad u have the energy bc REALLY…if that ain’t the pot
If you take it easy on these clowns, then they should take it easy on George Zimmerman – not!
I STILL say there is more to this story. I suspect these dudes were more than casual acquaintances with this queen, and I suspect he started gum flappin and they beat him into silence.
I also believe they would rather get convicted of a hate crime than to admit to gettin a late night hit from a dude.
Good luck going to jail hating the gays because your uniform blouse will be tied in a knot and you will be braiding hair and ironing grilled cheese sandwiches real soon.
@Therapist That comment was just dumb as hell,I couldn’t resist…. SMH..

I am sorry but that photo is just
how old are the other dudes? if they’re over 18 and don’t have a diploma they weren’t thinking about school or graduating to begin with. don’t use the excuse now.
@Carrington I’m inclined to agree with you bruh..
Carrington….lol how u know dude a queen tho?
@candibfly I agree…They should have thought abt that ish before they attacked!!
@Redeemed Well then you need to edit your post to include them all #PleaseandThanks One sin is not greater than the other…

Remember one evil to take out the other evil.
He can use an adulterer to kill a homosexual, and then use a white man to kill the adulterer, and then He kills the white man.
You gotta understand the ways of the Lord, because if not your emotions & leaning on your own understanding will have you messed up in the brain.

Really @ Redeemed?
It’s interesting that people will go to great lengths to point to the evils of The Gays, but oftentimes, they’re the main ones with three out of wedlock kids with two baby daddies, who lie, steal from work, take their homegirls to pick up some money from the married man she’s cheating with, and on and on, but for some reason.,. How bout them gays, huh? SMH
I don’t give a flyin fukk WHO u boinking, if I ain’t in that number, it doesn’t affect me. I’ve got too many issues of my own to reconcile at my dying hour than to be self righteous as fukk and pretend like my sun is better than yours.
@Jenie That’s what I heard as well…
@Redeemed So let me get this right,you saying GOD be killing people?? Lean not on your own understanding might be true but from what I was taught GOD does NOT harm his children but he will “allow” certain things to come to pass if you don’t heed his words….

Good Morning Everyone
God will only forgive you, when you are truly repenting. If you keep doing the same thing over and over then this verse is for you:
.
.
” Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”
JOHN 9:31
@Therapist Thank GOD for knowing him for MYSELF and not being a fool…
in other news my daughter is leaving me today to join her husband
she will be over 1200 miles away. i’m so bummed out

@Redeemed So let me get this right,you saying GOD be killing people?? Lean not on your own understanding might be true but from what I was taught GOD does NOT harm his children but he will “allow” certain things to come to pass if you don’t heed his words….

Chile boo. I skip over her posts 90% of the time. Numero uno reason being she’s either sitting at work stealing The Man’s money by hanging on Sandra Rose just like everyone else when her sanctimonious behind supposed to be working or she’s home sitting on Sandra Rose when she should either be doing some dang housework or looking for a job. I truly give her words zero weight.

Redeemed did you NOT see the Good Deacon this past Sat. night for yall “spesha session”?
You are awfully…Biblical on this Monday. More than usual.

Nice use of the word Senorita Rose. However, you didn’t provide enough context clues for me to figure it out on my own
Speaking of Michael Jackson anybody see the Black Dynamite cartoon last night?

Using religion to justify bigotry is disgusting and a perversion of faith, holiness, and godliness.
#thatisall
Did they ask Mr. White if he wanted them to go easy on them. It was not done to them, so why are they asking to go easy on the assulters. Would they be asking for them to go easy on them if it was their child? Assult is assult!
