Despite all the anti-police retoric on here, they have done there job and caught the suspects it seems a little over 48 hours after the guy died. I know not everyone postng here lives in London, but the attack was realtively well reported in the media in comparison with a lot of the killings and attacks here, that often don't go any further than the local papers. Its about time the gay community starts to show a bit more maturity and stops running everyone down because we think we've got a raw deal over everything. Society isn't perfect, and just because we didn't get all that we should, or things didn't go exactly as we wanted, may actually have nothing whatsoever to do with homophobia. On a brighter note, I'm glad they caught the offenders and its a pity they can't hang them. Re my previous posting (12).

This is why it is SO important that people report homophobic abuse at any level. I suspect these "lowlife" were on drugs or drunk/both. This is not the behaviour of rational human beings!

Every effort will be made to clean up images and piece together CCTV footage to track the attackers across town. People seldom get away with murders like this and I'm sure the scum that did this will get hunted down.

Again had this happen to another person in a minority group there would of been tons more coverage. I have emailed Sky News asking why they failed to cover the story and LBC Radio who have only given a brief mention of the attack.
