Friends of Scotty Joe Weaver say gay hate crimes nothing new
David Librace and his partner run a gay friendly R-V park in Lillian, Alabama. At night, local gay teens come down to hang out and play cards, including Scottie Weaver, who was recently stabbed to death in what police say is probably a hate crime based on his sexual orientation. Librace says he and his partner have been shot at three times because they're gay, so they don't take any chances: "We barricade our doors at night." About Weaver, he says, "Scotty was one of those kids, probably of about 40 I know, that get harassed by other kids, beat up ... get their eyes blacked." Librace says he's reported the attacks but nothing is ever done.
