    They look really banged up from defending themselves…. @@

    • Ain’t that the truth!

    • JudiciousAffairs

      Banged up? They don’t even have a single bruise. Clearly someone’s never been in a fight in their damn lives. What you’re actually seeing is what a hangover looks like. The blotchy skin, the shadows under their eyes, the general unkempt scruff; they’re not suffering from any injury save that they incurred through copious and well-documented overconsumption of hooch.

      • Sandra

        I’m fairly certain that was sarcasm.

        • JudiciousAffairs

          After following this story for some time, there are genuinely people who feel the bash was just a street brawl.

          Also, there are a bunch of soft hipster kids who want to look tough, but have never been in a legit fight a day in their life.

          • lovestoeatshit

            lol dude you’re thick man

          • Ipaulbot

            I wouldn’t use the word hipster in this situation. Gives our young idealistic coffee drinkers a real bad name. But nonetheless I agree with the sentiment. I just hope the judge has a gay son or daughter, to ensure a maximum penalty.

          • Michael C

            Besides not knowing how to detect sarcasm, you have no idea what a hipster looks like, do you?

          • retrostar1000

            By some time, you mean a week

          • moondoggy

            lol!

      • Bridget

        I don’t know, man. Ms Knott clearly lost her eyebrows in the struggle.

    • Jdk29932n333

      Idiots, they turned themselves in long after the fight.

  • pete

    Anyone figure out who is where in the restaurant photo?

  • HereinDC

    Ok, I’ll be first….. I can hear the cellmates saying” Damn, you have some purty lips”

    • MJ

      Prison rape is not funny, no matter what.

      • Álex P

        It’s not funny, but it’s a reality and this kind of crimes are what draw the prison rape kind of crime.

        • MJ

          Guys like this can be homophobic gaybashers on the outside, but then they get into prison long enough and they rape another guy. Or they have a mutually homosexual relationship. But it’s considered permissable in prison, and only wrong if you continue it on the outside. It’s a strange culture.

        • ipaulbot

          I certainly think its funny in the context of this forum.

        • MJ

          True. These guys will wind up raping a dude in prison, even if they got sent there for homophobic assaults. But they’ll still think of themselves as straight.

  • zelgo

    I hope they got body cavity searched! THEY ARE THUGS!

  • Daniepwils

    The guys look like they have been crying LOL

    • Charley’s Twin

      Too bad isn’t it? Such tough guys.

    • David

      Yes, but not her. She’s a toughy.

      • Beaufighter

        Daddy will make this go away. Daddy ALWAYS made things go away.

        • David

          Hence, the look on her face.

    • MJ

      I’d cry too if I had to go back to prison for doing something so stupid. But those types of guys spend their lives in and out of prison, so..

    • KM

      They’re crying because they know what happens to pretty white boys in the slammer.

  • Mark

    it’s nice to see them looking scared, for a change. bunch of morons.

    • David

      You must mean the men. She does not look scared, to me.

    • YEAHISAIDIT!

      They are not scared, they are feeling like they are so glad they are White and connected. I have NO sympathy whatever for these thugs. They have every advantage in the world. They are young, white, wealthy, and could do or be anything they want. They took their privilege and beat up two PEOPLE, knowing that in these United States, they won’t have to answer for what they did.

  • Not quite as cute & thin as her Twatter shots, she looks more like the HAG that she has shown herself to be!

  • Natalie Curtis

    Homophobics i being a GAY woman wont judge you or beat you for being straight what is wrong with people. Narrow minded idiots! I just dont understand

  • sam

    Little boxes on the hillside,
    Little boxes made of ticky tacky,1
    Little boxes on the hillside,
    Little boxes all the same.
    There’s a green one and a pink one
    And a blue one and a yellow one,
    And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
    And they all look just the same.

    And the people in the houses
    All went to the university,
    Where they were put in boxes
    And they came out all the same,
    And there’s doctors and lawyers,
    And business executives,
    And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
    And they all look just the same.

    And they all play on the golf course
    And drink their martinis dry,
    And they all have pretty children
    And the children go to school,
    And the children go to summer camp
    And then to the university,
    Where they are put in boxes
    And they come out all the same.

    And the boys go into business
    And marry and raise a family
    In boxes made of ticky tacky
    And they all look just the same.
    There’s a green one and a pink one
    And a blue one and a yellow one,
    And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
    And they all look just the same.

    • MJ

      The gaybashers in NYC never live in little boxes.

  • Charley’s Twin

    I love the look of fear in their eyes. Love it. I can only hope things get worse for these three. And oh yes, also hope things get much worse for their family members who taught them that gay bashing is funny.

    • MJ

      They don’t look scared to me. They look ticked off though.

  • UD b impressed

    If their friends were so united when the attacks happened, why are they hiding now?

  • MJ

    Surprisingly she doesn’t look like TOO bad an alcoholic, even though she is. I guess young=resistant.

  • Jemorri

    The one thing that gets me is…. Why?

    Why in today’s world would a group of people do this? Especially the leaps and bound within the last year everyone in whole have made? I’m angry, but I’m also sad for them.

    • Alec Leamas

      You don’t even know what has happened yet.

    • MJ

      Why do gangmembers in Philly shoot each other for wearing the wrong colors ? Why is ISIS cutting off peoples’ heads?

  • T

    Interesting that the guys look red eyed and she’s totally defiant.

    • Beaufighter

      Sociopaths tend to be pretty resilient.

  • Beaufighter

    Ugly human beings, to the bone.

  • PhillyKeith

    The guys are going to find out when the only time being gay ISN’T a choice…in prison!

    • Charley’s Twin

      Shut up.

    • MJ

      dork

  • photo321

    When do they release both sides of the story? Instead of just the one that the press and media keeps repeating about the “victims”? You can’t be a victim if you instigate a fight. You lose the right to call yourself a victim if you provoke the opposing party. Hitting a woman would be considered provocation.

    • Charley’s Twin

      Every story about their arrest I read today includes the horseshit comments from the defense attorneys about how they were “provoked.”

      • photo321

        Hitting a woman would be considered provocation.

        • didipa

          That foul mouthed “woman” was the instigator with her homophobic slurs. And I question whether she got hit to start with.

        • Gil

          hitting her would be a service to humanity

  • LALALand

    I am gay and I ALMOST feel bad for them b/c they ruined their lives, BUT you get what you deserve. Their twitter accounts and other posts prove they have a history of hating on people, therefore it wasn’t just some drunken one time mistake. time to learn your lesson kids!

    • Alec Leamas

      Can we see the alleged victims’ twitter accounts?

      • Sam_Handwich

        go find them yourself. that’s what we did.

      • UD b impressed

        Mind sharing yours? While you’re at it share your instagram, facebook and any other social media account you have

        • Alec Leamas

          I was not there, nor was I involved in the altercation. I don’t see the relevance, other than to taint the jury pool, but sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

          • UD b impressed

            Fair point, so then do you mind giving us the social media contacts of the other 9-12 people present during the altercation?

          • Alec Leamas

            I wouldn’t object, but don’t see the relevance.

          • UD b impressed

            Same with the victims. No relevance. None.

          • Alec Leamas

            If writing “gay” to mean “lame” is evidence of something, I think I’d like to see whether the alleged victims have done the same thing.

          • UD b impressed

            You can rest up this weekend because her twitter feed would never be used in the court for the night of the attack. All that would be used are the events that took place that night including the use of ‘dirty f@ggot’ throughout the attack, which something tells me that the use of those slurs were not intended to mean ‘lame’. Oh! and when you see her,
            can you tell her to find another word besides ‘gay’ if she actually means ‘lame’? Using the word ‘gay’ is lame.

          • Alec Leamas

            Except it won’t because the “hate crime” statute doesn’t apply. This is a media assassination, so laws don’t apply.

            When you see the fellas this weekend in the bathhouse, do give them my support and well wishes.

          • UD b impressed

            Haha, how much do you want to bet that the jury will consider the slurs that were hurled that night and the reason that the victims claim that the fight started? Come on! How much? And also, don’t get too excited because the feds haven’t yet weighed in on this. At any rate, why can’t you give the bathhouse fellas your support yourself? Because your mouth will be full with a big one?

          • Alec Leamas

            It depends upon whether they’re allowed in or whether they’re suppressed as inflammatory/irrelevant.

            Won’t be there – only in spirit. Have ten for me!

          • UD b impressed

            Keep thinking those happy thoughts. They will help you and your friends through this. Oh and the 10 boys just said hi back. They may already know you? Weird!

          • Alec Leamas

            Yawn.

    • MJ

      I don’t think they ruined their lives. They’re the types who spend it in and out of prison anyway.

  • didipa

    So young and so screwed up. I wonder if they’ll ever grow up.

    • MJ

      Like you’re not screwed up (thinking only one person on this message board is anti-Christian).

      • didipa

        You’re the paranoid one.

        • MJ

          No, you’re the paranoid one seeing “Right Wingers” under every rock like people in the ’50’s saw Commies everywhere.

  • Sam_Handwich

    BUSTED!

    After CC gay beating suspect Kathryn Knott appears to have tweeted out patient X-rays from her job Abington Health has suspended her:

    “We can confirm that Kathryn Knott has been employed at Lansdale
    Hospital since May 2011. Because of the nature of the charges against
    her, she has been suspended from her job as an Emergency Room tech.

    We are investigating an additional issue that was brought to our
    attention related to this employee’s Twitter account for potential
    violations of patient privacy and our organization’s social media
    policy. Abington Health takes patient privacy and confidentiality very
    seriously and is fully investigating this matter.”

  • Scott Miller

    I’m not gay, but I do fully support anyone who is. Let ’em live their lives the way they see fit. They’re not hurting anybody, just let them do their thing.

    • MJ

      Hope you’re not christian. I’m gay, and I know MOST gays hate you.

      • Scott Miller

        I am, but not in the Bible-thumping, I’m better than you, Jesus freak sense. I’m just enough of a decent human being to have the decency to let people live in peace the way they wanna.

      • jlkj

        why are you attacking Scott Miller??? He is an ally. WTF people, read his post.

        • MJ

          Most gays don’t consider they have Christian allies. You act like you’re new to G Philly.

        • MJ

          Just like the way you hate Catholics.

  • Sherry

    Aww…they look so sad, they get away with it.

  • T

    Kenneth Moton said she was suspended from her job as a nurse tech in an ER for the x-ray photos she posted on Twitter.

    Now, now. Let them have their day in court.

  • chromeandroid

    I have a feeling this picture is not the first time this chick has been sandwiched between them two dudes

  • pecsterus

    The two guys are DEFINITELY closet cases. Come out, come out! It’s lonely and dark in there. Stupid twits.

  • TOBY

    this

  • UD b impressed

    Interesting to me that they allege self defense and that it was a fair fight yet they don’t have a scratch anywhere In the photo

  • TOBY

    Orange would look good on them.

  • just saying

    I’m pretty sure that since they turned themselves in today, these photos were taken today, not the night of the incident.

  • iverge

    They should be charged with a hate crime! Hope they get put away for a very long time!

  • 370HSSV 0773H

    I hope they’re made an example of and get the book thrown at them. No plea deals!

  • Zendo

    Will all the people defending these idiots please go back to Widener Law School?

    sadly, the lesson these twats will most likely learn is to not get caught the next time. Sure hope they go to jail and get bashed

  • Chris

    Pretty little white boys in prison? Think you’re homophobic now…just wait until you’re someone’s b*tch lol

    • MJ

      Or somebody becomes their b*tch.

  • Jenny

    Wolves in sheeps clothing… Pure evil… lock them up please , and I am pretty sure their homophobia will work so good in prison !!!

  • Jenny

    let them rot in jail.

  • Jenny

    The girl looks butch… I won’t be surprised if they were closeted homosexuals

  • kate

    How come only the woman has been taken to task for her twitter, Facebook, etc? What about the two guys? I’m sure they have some juicy posts on twitter and the like. I think those need to be shown as well. I highly doubt she could have caused a fractured eye socket no matter how much cross fit she did.

    • didipa

      Why do you think she threw a punch and why are you defending this scum?

      • kate

        Not sure what about my comment made you think I was defending her. She is obviously a horrible human being. I just think the guys need to be brought to task and exposed publicly as well.

        • didipa

          My apologies… It’s possible that the guys didn’t have a Twitter account. But I’m sure that anything they posted online will come out in due time.

          • ImOpining

            Or that they were smart enough to close their social media accounts. This dumb chick just today deleted her instagram but not her twitter or FB. Not the brightest crayon in the box, is she?

    • jlkj

      everyone is searching for more info on the 2 male thugs but no one seems to be able to find any social media profiles for them. They must have deleted them as they were hiding out.

  • Danielle Kranz

    dude on the far right is crazy looking. insanity always shows up in the eyes. his eyes look like he’s capable of horrible things.

  • Straight_Shooter

    Hmm, both those guy suspects look like they could pass for gay their ownselves…. just saying. Maybe they had some self doubt self hate

  • SSINTENSE

    That tweet where she complains about a check over cash is absurd. I grew up in that area and know it’s common. While I grew up in relatively good fortune, my dad let me on my own around the age of 19.

    I moved from the nest years ago and am successful in my own career. On the other side you have stupid parents who hand their kids everything and spoil them to the point where they are useless, alcohol, violent pieces of s like this girl.

    And i saw this kind of behavior often around Montgomery and bucks county.

  • Jack

    Going to be fun watching the slow ride into hell for these three. And regarding the woman’s “tough” look as commented by another….it’s the look of a sociopath…who’s going to be locked up.
