Following Homophobic Hammer attack, Gay Man commits Suicide
Following homophobic hammer attack, gay man commits suicide
Quote:
The family of a man who endured a brutal assault wants his attacker to be charged with murder following his suicide.
33-year-old Mitchell Pope, who suffered severe head injuries, committed suicide 18 months after the attack.
On October 13, 2014, Pope was savaged by a man who called him a “f*cking f*ggot” in the lobby of his Brooklyn apartment.
The man repeatedly hit him with a hammer, leaving him with a severely fractured skull.
According to his mother, Pope was never the same.
Speaking to The New York Post, Agnes Watson said, “All of a sudden he really, really started acting different. He was becoming delusional and paranoid.”
She claims her son developed an odd obsession with demons and was certain he possessed “godlike” powers and was “invincible.”
Ms. Watson is convinced this bizarre behavior led to his suicide.
Mitchell Pope jumped out of the third-story window of his apartment last January.
Drugs have been ruled out, although the medical examiner thinks his brain injury quite possibly influenced his actions.

I wonder if that would be enough grounds to look into that as a homicide? It's disturbing the person that did that was never caught.
This is so disturbing. I will never understand why someone would want to hurt someone because they are gay. Life is just so tragic, but yet so beautiful. RIP in peace.
There was another crazy guy with a Hammer that was hitting people in the head a while back in NYC. He looks similar. I wonder if it was him? Or is this another guy?
People need to learn to mind their own business
