One of my readers, Mark, recognized porn star Edin Sol as one of the attack victims (whom had to have eye surgery) of the hate crime happened near 33rd Street PATH Station around 5 a.m. Friday in Manhattan, New York.

This is horrible! I wish him the best of luck, get well soon!
Dwayne Johnson says
Wow I saw this story on the news here in the NY/NJ area but never guessed it was someone from the business. I remember feeling horrible about this especially when they showed the pic of his eye and that he needed surgery. I think all gay people should carry mace or pepper spray to defend themselves from these monsters who try to pass as human beings.
Tray says
Sad story. We are in freaking 2013 and people are still like this, terrible. Wish Edin Sol and his friend speedy recovery
Rob Rushmore says
So sorry this happened to him & I hope he has a speedy recovery. At least they’ve made some arrests and if they’re guilty, I hope they send them away for a long time.
DJ says
My thoughts and prayers go out to Edin. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. Violence of this nature (or any for that matter) is senseless and stupid.
Olaf says
Yep New York, Chicago, San Francisco. As marriage equality and gay rights gain momentum, there’s a backlash in our own sanctuaries. We as a community must stick together. My heart goes out to Edin and I wish him a speedy and full recovery
dissi says
one of the bashers has a black eye too. I’m glad they fought back somewhat. we need to FIGHT BACK when this kind of shit happens.
Jeff says
I hope for swift justice and hope Edin and his friend are given all the support and love they deserve. I hate these stories.
JJ says
I hope he will be able to recover fully and not lose anything.

I hope the assh*le who did that to him gets the worst punishment possible.
Devin says
@ Olaf, your heart goes out to Edin?
What about his friend?
