7 Salisbury Univ frat pledges charged with hate crime - lured gay man via Grindr

[Anonymous]

Wow, these guys are some real sick SOBs:

The students used a social media account to invite the person to the apartment under false pretenses on Oct. 15, the police said. Once in the apartment, the students swarmed and forcefully sat that person in a chair in the living room, where they “kicked, punched and spit on” their target “while the men called the victim derogatory names,” the release said.

The person who was attacked tried to flee, and the men threw him to the floor, according to the police. After several minutes of being assaulted, the person was allowed to leave the apartment and sought medical assistance.

The students arrested in the case are Riley Brister, 20, of Davidsonville, Md., Ryder Baker, 20, of Olney, Md.; Bennan Aird, 18, of Milton, Del.; Cruz Cespedes, 19, of Jarrettsville, Md.; Dylan Earp, 20, of Gambrills, Md.; Elijah Johnson, 19, of Crofton, Md.; and Zachary Leinemann, 18, of Crofton, Md.

The students were either part of or pledging to become members of a fraternity, the police said. In addition to hate-crime charges, they are each charged with assault, false imprisonment and reckless endangerment.

Greek orgs need to be banned. So much more destruction than benefits.

This is horrific. Praying that the victim finds healing.

It's the BRogan effect. Young men who think that the only way to "be a man" is through bullying, violence or misogyny, because it reinforces their (distorted) masculinity.

How did they expect that they could use an app to connect to someone, beat them up, and not get caught?

I saw on the news that the person coming to the house was told they’d be meeting a minor. Maybe they thought that would absolve them?

Yeah, based on the attorney comments, was there some misguided belief that the victim would be too embarrassed to report the crime? The situation is absolutely horrible.

The fake profile on Grindr was claiming to be 16 and the age of consent in Maryland is....16.

These frat bros at a third-tier state school are just dumb savages who couldn't even properly set up their crime.

Just read another article that said the victim did not report the crime. Police found him after someone reported the crime to SU policy and turned over his phone.
