    Federal hate crime investigation has been launched:

    Georgia man who threw boiled water on gay men gets 40 years

    Tribune news services

    A judge sentenced a Georgia man to 40 years in prison Wednesday for throwing boiled water on a gay couple sleeping in an apartment, leaving them with severe burns that required surgery.

    Prosecutors said it was a vicious, premeditated attack. Tolbert testified that after pouring hot water on them, Blackwell grabbed him as he jumped and screamed in pain and told him: "Get out of my house with all that gay."
    Georgia doesn't have a hate crime law. The FBI said in March that it had opened a hate crime investigation, but spokesman Kevin Rowson said Wednesday that the agency isn't commenting on that probe.
    Blackwell's defense attorney acknowledged that he poured water on the pair, but asked jurors to find that it was reckless conduct.
    "It's not about hate. It's about old-school culture, old-school thinking," Monique Walker told the jury.

    I don't know about 40 years but that guy is obviously a mental case.

    Btw (From the article, one of the victims was the son of the perpetrators girlfriend.)

    Wonder if his "old school" thinking was influenced by his religious beliefs.
    Some Christians essentially believe that God will pour boiling water, fire on gays.

    It's the only logical course of action. If it wasn't for water, they wouldn't have been injured.
