Two homosexuals assaulted in Amsterdam 2 July 2007
AMSTERDAM – A group of six men assaulted two gay men on the Reguliersdwarsstraat in Amsterdam city centre last Thursday night.
The victims are aged 37 and 45 and were most likely attacked because of their sexual orientation, Amsterdam police said on Monday. The six men were arrested after the attack for public violence.
The 37-year-old and a friend had visited a nightclub in the centre of Amsterdam. They were attacked by a group of men as they were crossing the Rembrandtplein via the Regulierdwarsstraat towards the Vijzelstraat.
The men shouted insulting statements about homosexuals, threatened the two and spit in the face of one of them. As the victims approached the Vijzelstraat both were punched in the face. A witness says the group also threatened the two gay men, chanting "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you."
The group then headed towards the Herengracht. Witnesses had called police and the six were arrested. The suspects are all between the ages of 15 and 19. Four are of Moroccan descent, one is Surinamese and one is Turkish.
The police are looking for witnesses of the abuse. The group of young men is also suspected of involvement in other similar incidents. The police are asking that any victims come forward so that this kind of violence can be addressed.
Moroccan, Surinamese and Turkish? Now there’s a shocker.
I was wondering if they were Arab before I got to this part.
” Four are of Moroccan descent, one is Surinamese and one is Turkish.”
It was my first thot too — Muzzies no doubt. Boy was I surprised/ NOT.
Muslim punks. There, I've said it.

That’s pretty impressive. Around here you’d almost never catch all six muggers in a group before some got away.
The victims may still be alive only because this happened in public.
Kinda like the endangered bird eating the endangered fish...
How many gangsters where attacked last week in Europe because they are gangsters? How many terrorists were attacked last week in Iraq because they are terrorists.
How many heterosexuals were assaulted on the same evening in the same city?
$100 says Christians somehow get blamed in the end. The MSM can't blame muslims because they actually kill people, so they'll resort to blaming religious extremists and then shift complaint to Christians.
If I were a cop I would've killed them just so's I wouldn't have to write a report.
This is awful. Punching a homosexual in the mouth,just ruins their sex life.
That’s unacceptable.
While neither behavior is desirable, the violence is much more undesirable.
People are murdered at staggering rates in any city in the world - philly is over 200 so far, there are millions of assaults and batterings every day along with untold amounts of violent crime and outright depravity, and I haven’t even begun to talk about warfare and you think this sissy blathering is unacceptable??
In small words, its NOTHING.
I got beat up worse than that in grade school for Christ’s sake and THIS is news?
Where? In madam Nancy's school for sissies?
Forget it, like the sign reads, I - don't - care. - Period.
Now throw a gay Muslim out there and watch the reporters line up on their knees!
10 years ago we didn’t even know (or cared) who these people were, now they are everywhere … in the news, in our lives, in our malls, just everywhere. Like cockroaches, they are everywhere and just as repugnant. And like cockroaches, there aim is to overrun us all, to become the dominant (religious) species.
