''[I'll] say I'm a faggot, too. Let 'em prove I ain't gay.''
''We figured they would be easier targets because their [sic] are a lot of homosexuals around the area.''
Quotes provided by police from Bobby Singleton, a man who was just convicted of viciously attacking a gay man, Jimmy Dean, in July 2008. Dean suffered a broken back and carries permanent damage to the bones of his face which were crushed when Singleton repeated kicked and stomped on his head while he lay unconscious. Singleton's father is said to have apologized to Dean, blaming his son's bad behavior on an absent mother, the possibility of a bipolar disorder, and dropping out of high school. A second man, Jonathan Gunter, was also convicted and sentenced to 30 years for assisting in the robbery and assault. (Dallas Morning News)
