Illinois teen accused of breaking into neighbor’s home, trying to beat him to death because he’s gay: police

Ethan Dickerson, 19, faces preliminary charges of hate crime, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, aggravated unlawful restraint, and home invasion.

The incident happened Thursday afternoon in Decatur, about 180 miles south of Chicago, WICS-TV reported.

According to a sworn affidavit, police were called to a home on Delray Court after a report of a broken window and a potential break-in.

When an officer arrived at the scene, the door was locked. After identifying himself, the officer said he could hear somebody screaming for help inside.

The officer broke down the door to go into the house, and then found the victim on the kitchen floor.

He had multiple lacerations to his head and a “significant” amount of blood. The officer also saw the teen, who was also covered in blood.

Do those on the right think this is a hate crime or just a regular old attempted murder?

Are you okay?
How bad of a beating did you take?

Its just a crime

not two beatings but only one
 
So-called hate crimes are nothing more than thought policing. The Court's second biggest embarrassment of a ruling after the whole gay marriage joke.

Where's the proof there as anti-gay motivation?
The designation of 'hate crime' should be eliminated.

I think the dude is fucking crazy and could have found a thousand other reasons to kill someone. Im not buying the "he slaughtered his neighbor butcher knife for being gay" motive.
 
Maybe the neighbor made unwanted advances towards the young man.....If so, good beating.

If not....

Maybe it's just your typical godbothering republican taught by his parents to hate gays, like all of them.

The problem we have is that authoritarians are packaged as people on TV with views. So, Brian Stelter is a despot of monstrous proportions by verbal mouthing. But he could not even lick the shit out of Castro's ass to prove his physical violent virility. So many more like him. And the effect on our nation with the transformation to a Prog tyranny way of living means total destruction on pure malaise by the peasants.

Hate crime but had this been a Straight White Christian that voted for Trump and someone that was minority beating him then you would demand the White person be arrested and executed…

Oh, why I wrote that is because of your stupid question about if those were a Hate crime and directing it to the right only seeing many blacks on this board have written a lot of anti-gay content!
