Brothers charged in gay man's brutal beating

Two brothers have been charged in a beating that left a gay Massachusetts man with a shattered jaw, broken eye socket, broken nose and broken cheek bone. Justin Goodwin, 36, of Salem, underwent nine hours of surgery following the weekend attack. His jaw is wired shut and he lost vision in one eye as a result of bruising. His vision has returned but family members say more surgery will be scheduled when Goodwin’s condition is stabilized. Goodwin was attacked by up to six people on Saturday in an alley next to a bar in Gloucester. Two of the attackers were identified by witnesses. William J. Chadwick, 21, was picked up by police and Jonathan Chadwick, 23, turned himself in after learning an arrest warrant had been issued. Both have been charged with aggravated assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Gay people need to arm themselves with guns or knives. This is just one more example of the hatred that straights have for gays, and what we have to endure every day.Whether straights like it or not,there will always be gay people living in this world. No amount of insults or assaults will ever change that.And nothing will ever take away my pride for being gay.

Brothers? Not surprising that hate spews within family circles. Next question, are they from a "Right" family???? Fred Phelps would love this family!

I hope they get life in prison with no parole.
