Galveston's
Robert's Lafitte -- the same gay bar Advocate.com reported
was
providing shelter from the nasty hurricanes
that ravaged the Gulf Coast last September -- is now the site
of a
nasty gay bashing
.
According to reports,
three men were arrested -- one held the front door of the bar
open while another two hurled rocks at customers.
One man -- 57-year-old
Marc Bosaw -- needed twelve staples to close a
laceration to the back of his head. Troy Nickelson, 39, was
struck in the jaw by a rock.
One of the three
suspects later told police it was their intent to target
homosexuals. As a result, brothers Lawrence Henry
Lewis III, 20, and Lawrneil Henry Lewis, 18, and their cousin,
Alejandro Sam Gray, 17, could face anywhere from five to 99
years in prison is a jury concludes this was indeed a hate
crime.
