Pooro needs nice right now. Anything less isn't helpful. What good did ambivalence do? According to Pooro ambivalence just made things worse.
And I just offered up the notes bout the powder and Visine because it seems like the bruises were noticeable enough to make him uncomfortable.
Oh you're absolutely right. It's just that Pooro is kind of known for his dry wit around here, and most people respond in kind, so such unabashedly pleasant posts can seem a little disarming at first!

My best of wishes to you Pooro.
You find these men. You find them and you make them pay all Liam Neeson in Taken style.
You deserve justice.

Muse, MereHappenstance can't be nice to anyone ever again. He traded the last of his niceness away for a flagon of vodka. Each gulp washed away the last of his humanity.

Haven't read past the 1st page-my sympathies to Pooro, way fucked that people kept driving by
I wonder though, not than anyone can actually answer this, if they jumped him because they're really thought he was gay and wanted to beat up some random gay, or if it was, what I think is more likely, just a case of "We can totally take this guy."

Juheeeezus christ.
I think we can all agree that people just walking by is disheartening. But just pointing out how depressing it is doesn't do shit.
So remember it. Next time you see something happen, think back to this. All of you. Understand that if you don't do something, probably no one will. And then do something.
It's a cliché, but be the change you want to see in the world.

Koshian already apologized and explained the post.
You did not need to drag it out again.
She actually didn't apologize for the post.
i did, so fuck you.
Technically, you apologized for me taking offense. Which is pretty radically different from actually apologizing.
But hey, whatever, who's even keeping track?
(me, a bit)
And just so's everybody knows, I did talk to the cops tonight. I couldn't give them much, and they told me not to expect anything, which, hey, I wasn't.
Also, holy moly Muse, that is some make-me-feel-guilty levels of nice. I ain't deserving of sympathy on that level. I'm frequently a dick.

Definitely report it
the paper trail has to start somewhere, even if your file is just one of many, it can help prosecutors put serious pressure on these guys even in totally unrelated incidents

Yeah but just like on the forums
If enough people report on a poster eventually they get jailed
Don't you want to contribute to getting these guys banned from life?

No, but I talked to the cops. I reported it.

Pooro, what I think you should do in this case is report it to the cops.
Just trying to make you feel better even though it seems like your actions have no consequence now
You just never know
Eh, considering my mugging, this recent gay bashing, the time I got called a faggot and thrown into the trunk of a palm tree, the time a guy in a pick-up shouted "faggot" at me from a pick-up and threw a tennis ball at my head, the time two rednecks tackled me and tried to steal my wallet.
Given I didn't do shit to instigate any of it, and considering nothing I did after the fact had any effect, I'm pretty sure my actions have no consequences.
Yeah, but on the other hand there are 12 pages of people, most of them you've never even seen, on the internet, many of whom have never had any meaningful interactions with you, wishing you genuine happiness.
So there's at least that part that's pretty nice.

Man pooro, we can't blame you for being a bit bitter about the entire thing.
Maybe if you were complaining that your seat which is made out of gold is uncomfortable we'd razz you on that.

I can only deny facts so long.
I'm sorry for all of the horrendous shit that happened to you, but why haven't you left that godawful shitstain of a place? I mean, one is an incident, two is a coincidence, but five is a definite pattern of abuse that, judging by the number of incidences and your location, which judging by the reference to palm trees, is in the South, suggests a community that really, really, hates gay people and people who look like gay people.

Seriously, get out of there.
Ain't nowhere in the country to write for a living but L.A., and ain't nowhere in L.A. I can afford to live but here.
So it comes down to dreams or safety, and I'll pick dreams every time. Bruises heal quicker than what-ifs.
Look, I love writing too, but it's not worth your life. All it takes is one hick all hopped up on Pat Robertson to end your life. Try to find alternative routes through you neighborhood. Or travel with friends. You could try taking self defence lessons, but will little cash that would be difficult.
