This is just horrible. A graphic video posted to World Star Hip-Hop shows a vicious gang attack on a young man outside an Atlanta grocery store. The victim—apparently targeted for wearing "skinny jeans"—was beaten by up to three men while another man laughs repeatedly, "No faggots in Jack City."
The video is very graphic. Watch AFTER THE JUMP ...
The business, located at 1029 McDaniel Street SW, is a popular congregating spot for members of the Pittsburgh Jack City Gang (or “PBJC”). The group has also used the name “Jack City 1029.”
After being provided a link to the video, an Atlanta police spokesperson told TSG that the clip had been forwarded to the department’s gang division as well as the unit that investigates bias crimes against the LGBT community. Officer Kim Jones added that she was researching whether a police report was generated at the time of the attack.
The video has been viewed more than 138,000 times. It was uploaded with the description, "Thats some b*tch sh*t."
The Atlanta Police Department learned about the incident from the internet and is looking into it, spokesperson Carlos Campos told the GA Voice."We were just tipped off to the video less than an hour ago by the Smoking Gun," Campos said. "We're working with the appropriate units/zones to learn more about it. I hope to have some information later today."
The young man can be seen being kicked, punched, hit with a tire—even his cell phone is used to punch him in the face. Heartbreaking.

Senseless, absolutely senseless. It's a great argument for gun rights. NO ONE has the right to do that to ANY ONE. He was lucky that he was not killed. I hope he heals inside and out from this. It will leave scars. He is in our prayers.

They should all get time for HATE CRIMES...that was so cowardly to beat on that dude like that just for being gay or whatever the case may be. SELF HATRED IS SO STRONG AND BEING WHO YOU ARE AS AN INDIVIDUAL SCARES PEOPLE. That was disgusting.
