A Canadian man was sentenced to 6 years in prison for punching a homosexual man who grabbed his genitals.
What is the world coming to when the government tells men they have no right to defend their genitalia from public homosexual attack?
“Shawn Woodward was sentenced to six years in jail today for what a judge described as an “unprovoked attack driven by virulent homophobia” on Ritch Dowrey, 62, which has left the gay man with a severe brain injury.
Woodward, 37, punched Dowrey in the face in the Fountain Head Pub, a gay bar in Vancouver’s West End, March 13, 2009, causing Dowrey to fall unconscious on to a tile floor.
Vancouver Provincial Court Judge Jocelyn Palmer rejected Woodward’s evidence that Dowrey had touched Woodward’s crotch before Woodward hit him.
She said the evidence showed that Dowrey — who was celebrating his retirement that night — had twice approached Woodward and asked if he could buy him a beer and had merely touched his shoulder.”
