Three black teens viciously beat a 14-year-old on a bus because they thought he was gay

Nassau County Police said a local teen was savagely beaten on a Long Island school bus, in what’s being called a bias attack. Three black teens were arrested and are accused of stomping and kicking the boy, and making sexual slurs, because they perceived him to be gay. Police said it was inside a school bus where anti-gay slurs, taunting and bullying began, and added the lawless behavior went on for weeks. Investigators said the alleged victim from BOCES career prep admitted he didn’t have the courage to complain — fearing retaliation, but when the taunts turned physical the victim finally came forward. Three schoolmates have been charged with felony hate crime – 16-year-old Chase Morrison of Lakeview, 18-year-old David Spencer of North Valley Stream and 16-year-old Roy Wilson of Baldwin. The trio allegedly stomped on the victim’s arms, legs, stomach and thigh, while making disparaging remarks about his sexual orientation.
