I witness something familiar to this at a college point movie theater, when I took my 11 year old cousin to go see the Yu~Gi~Oh Movie couple years back. The only difference was that some young parent got into the brawl as well.

I LOl very hard though, because i wasn't expecting something like this ever happening on a kids movie day.

Bobobobobobobobo is fucking insane. It was on Adult Swim for a while, and I watched a few episodes. It was so bizarre I couldn't turn it off.

What is hard for me to understand is how someone can become so incensed against someones else, especially for something that doesn't effect them, that they commit heinous crimes against the victim. To take it even further, the victim has no choice in their sexual orientation, skin color, nationality, or any other thing that people get violent over. Where is the self control? Why can't they just live and let live?

I attend church and am a believer. However, I disagree with a huge majority of what American christians believe. Especially the social issues that are so often misquoted in the bible and used as religious propaganda. That doesn't mean that I get to start burning down churches that are representative of different beliefs, or strangling people that believe dinosaurs didn't exist. It means I am different than these people and that is that...

Portlander here too. Big part of our indifference to it I think comes from the fact that, as you said, it's so prevalent in Portland. It's a very hippie/yuppie/whatever city, Sonomaa mentioned exposure to his dad's friend helped him become accustomed to gays, I think we're getting the same effect inadvertently because of the city. Yeah, there's a guy at my college that carries around a purse and carries his hands around up in the air that makes me roll my eyes, but generally it's a non-issue. I've worked with so many openly gay people it just...not a big deal. I wonder how much of an effect lack of exposure is playing in the hatred that goes around.

I still maintain my assertion that this was the worst thing ever and you all have shamed your families.

Except for Dimmauk, his family was shamed by him long before this thread.

I'll be the first to admit proudly that I'm the worst Mexican Jew on the planet.

we're all special snowflakes, unique in our own way. however, that also means we're a few molecules (or genomes) away from being identical to several billion of our closest friends.

on the other hand, thank god there are at least a few genomes separating me and some of the people on this board.

However, why the FUCK are you even making it a point to suggest that violence against the LGBT community is more/less worthy of your disgust? You're pointing something out and I personally think it suggests that you're tired of hearing LGBT people get angry about the hate crimes committed against them. And yes, the primary incident I am hoping this thread will cover was a fucking hate crime, Rhinox.

Seriously, your post was fantastic up until, "Violence against the LGBT community does not and should not get any more disgust from me." What was the fucking point beyond saying you're not bothered more when a discriminated minority is subjected to cruelty and violence?

But society has made it safer by allowing hate groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church and American Family Association to spread their fucking filth. You think it's okay for groups like that to call for violence against my community? You think that doesn't have any effect on the morale of people who want to hurt LGBT people?

This is not about you, this is about hate crimes against the LGBT community. This is far more heinous because the assailants targeted the woman because she was apart of the LGBT community.

I'm so sorry there are ineffectual laws against harming members of minority groups! My god, the pain you must endure every day. If you ever want a shoulder to cry on, just let me know. Poor baby.
