Anti-Gay NYC 'Beatdown' Wasn't A Hate Crime, Says Friend With Homophobic Leviticus Tattoo



"Thou shalt not lie with male, as with woman: it is abomination." Leviticus 18:22
If this violent thug feels the need to get this forever tattooed on his arm he is clearly in gay denial! I guess he didn't read the next chapter of Leviticus where it says that tattoos are an abomination.

QUEENS (WABC)
U.S. Marshals and Norfolk police took 21-year-old Daniel Rodriguez into custody at a relatives home.

Charges are pending and NYPD detectives are in the process of returning him to New York.

The other suspect, Daniel Aleman, in the beating was arrested on Sunday.

Aleman, 26, was arraigned on a charge of assault as a hate crimes. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Investigators say the two Queens men taunted Jack Price and yelled anti-gay slurs before punching and kicking him last Thursday after he left a 24-hour deli near his home in Queens.

Price suffered a fractured jaw and ribs, the collapse of both of his lungs, and a lacerated spleen. All the punches and kicks the victim suffered through were captured on the cameras of a nearby business.

Last Thursday at 4:30 in the morning the victim's nightmare began. Price, who is openly gay, had been to a nearby bodega for cigarettes. The confrontation began outside the store.

Police say the suspect's yelled anti-gay slurs, and then the 5-foot-6, 130 pound man was punched and kicked over and over again. It was three minutes of horror.

In the video, the suspects are seen stopping and walking away, but they then quickly turn back. It looks like they steal something from the victim. Finally, with Price on his knees, they gave him one last punch.

Remarkably the victim was able to stumble away from the scene.

The victim's family says Price is awake and alert, but he's still on a respirator. He has a long road to recovery ahead.
