DePaul University faces 2 Hate Crimes

Drama at DePaul University, folks. Within a month, the campus has experienced 2 hate crimes...2.

Patrick Stewart was attacked on Feb 4th. He was leaving a theater when 3 men approached him.

"I fell to the ground, and the person that kicked me said, 'I know who you are and I know that you're gay,'".

Stewart describes the brutal, hate-filled attack he says he endured on Feb. 4: "That person and two other people just started kicking me and punching me and like I was pinned to the ground, so I couldn't really go anywhere."

"They were calling me things like queer and fag."

Weeks later, another hate crime was occurred. This took place at the DePaul Student Center. Posters of a Palestinian guest speaker were defaced with swastikas and Hitler-like mustache.

The school is completely embarrassed and plans on making this a top priority in their policy changes. I hoping for the best.
