A 'bloodthirsty' mob hunted down a gay man & his brother before beating them in a mall food court

A gay man said that he and his brother were attacked by a mob when they were visiting family in Australia.

The 21-year-old victim, identified only as “Joshua” in the media, told the Gold Coast Bulletin that he and his 16-year-old brother were visiting family in the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Joshua and his brother live in Melbourne.

The two brothers were on the bus going to a mall this past Tuesday when a group of around 10 teenagers shouted slurs at them like “fucking faggots” and “gay cunts.”

After lunch, some of those teenagers attacked them at the mall’s food court. The teens beat them to the ground and then stomped on them.

Clicked the link and totally blasted one of the commenting people siding with a troll. This pinnacle of intellect was making comments these victims should just "fight back". Oh, that raised the hair on my neck and I went into clackity clack keyboard mode letting him know what fighting back against overwhelming odds leads to.
I'll only reiterate this here.
Don't underestimate these Nazified so-called "christians" mob mentality. They have the blood of innocents on their hands, and it all starts with testosterone driven youth such as these.
