Man reports hate crime in Montana
A Montana man reported being assaulted by an anti-gay crowd of eight to 10 men, the Missoulian [1] reported.
Early Saturday morning outside of an AmVets club in Missoula, a 32-year-old man claimed he was beaten and harassed with anti-gay slurs. Apparently, the man first drove himself to a local hospital to receive medical attention, and later reported the incident to police.
