The 17-year old victim was part of a group of five to seven people who were displaying signs at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Humboldt Street urging voters to reject Proposition 8, according to San Mateo Police Capt. The group became involved in a verbal argument around 4 pm with a group of 10 to 15 people who were displaying signs nearby urging yes' votes on the proposition, which would outlaw same-sex marriage in California if passed Tuesday. During the altercation, a 250-pound man from the group that supports Prop. Schaumkel was arrested for assault while the man who allegedly struck the victim escaped, Raffaeli said. Police described the man as a 6-foot-2 Polynesian male in his 20s wearing a white t-shirt. A juvenile male was also arrested for assault after he punched a neighbor in the face as the resident tried to separate the feuding parties.

Has anyone noticed the words that these parents have taught the kids to say while picketing? Obviously they know nothing about that bus ride in 1955 and can't add two and two together." I mean beating up a female that is a minor by two grown men , what the hell type of supporters does prop 8 have. POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Madd Grandmother: "They were members of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Believe it or not they are men who hold priesthood in the church. They are ignorant and should be jailed for their conduct." POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Greg/SF: "Wow are those 2 tough guys or what. It is a free country & I wish those 2 so called punks I mean grown men would slap me for vote no on Prop 8 I am 6ft 220lbs full grown man who enjoys confrontation with bullies. Get a life not one gay guy or woman wants to be with clowns like you two guys, let alone straight people." POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Bobbie: "How does a 250lb guy escape without anyone catching him?" POSTED Nov 4, 2008 SPCSWW: "Madd Grandmother: How do you know they are mormons? Even if they are mormon what does that have to do with the news report? It seems you are only trying to spread gossip and hate towards mormons." POSTED Nov 4, 2008 No on 8 Supporter: "This just shows exactly the profiles of people who supports this discriminatory Proposition. So, let me get this correct - For these religious fanatics, it's Ok to have multiple wives and have sex with their underaged daughters but it is immoral for 2 loving same sex couple to marry ? POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Disgusted at these religious Fanatics: "I am so Disgusted but not surprised that these 2 grown up men will beat up a teenage girl. These religious fanatics will have sex with underaged girls but will not want 2 conseting adults marry a partner of their choice."

POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Middleground: "I do not have a problem with 2 people getting married but if this Prop goes to the No side well what if a church does not want to go against there ethics, I hope they are not forced to do so. I am fear that the Church and State will not be seperate."

POSTED Nov 4, 2008 church and state: "> I am fear that the Church and State will > not be seperate. Gay marriage has been legal, in one form or another, for nearly 20 years in other countries and states, and not a single church has been force to marry anyone against their will. Also, what about the Unitarians, who have married gay couples for over 40 years? POSTED Nov 4, 2008 The Truth: "It's unfortunate that people on both sides of this emotionally charged issue have been vandalized or hurt. In regards to to "Middleground" poster, no, churches are not currently required to perform same-sex marriages, and that will remain the same if No on 8 is defeated. com" POSTED Nov 4, 2008 BayAreaMom: "For two grown men to attack a child -- especially in public -- is completely reprehensible, and degrades humanity. What I have heard from my own teenager is that certain of her peers who support Prop 8 are villifying those who oppose it by saying such things as, "If you oppose Prop 8, then you must be gay, and I hate gays." They obviously learned these attitudes from their parents, whom I can only categorize as ignorant and bigoted. And yes, these comments are coming from teenagers who profess to be Christians. I should think that if Jesus were here today, he would certainly condemn their spewing of such hate. I am proud that my child is enlightened and accepting of ALL of her friends, whether gay or straight."

It is Ok for religious fanatics to have sex with their underage daughters and have multiple wives or sexually molest young altar boys, But it is NOT ok for 2 loving adults to marry somebody of their choice. POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Unbiased: "Why is it NOT acceptable for mature and loving individuals marry somebody of the same sex ? Is it worse than the mormons taking multiple wives and having sex with their children ? Or the catholic priests molesting and sucking altar boys ? Some Saints they are, so much for the church being about family values. The church leaders told them to go out and hold signs of course only the big, stupid, unemployed ones did as they were told. " POSTED Nov 4, 2008 Bay Area Resident: "Bobby: This is how a 250Ib guy escapes w/out anyone catching him, he hid behind all the other 450Ib girls that were holding up the signs too."

POSTED Nov 4, 2008 anne: "These proponents of Prop 8 have no right to engage in the act of childish disobedience. And the other thing, their display of arrogance is the exact similarity to their support of the illegally conceived measure that we are working extra hard to defeat." POOR LITTLE GIRL, I HOPE THOSE JERKS GET TIME IN JAIL AND I WISH EVERYBODY SPAT IN THAT MORONS FACE SO HE COULD KNOW WHAT THA F IT FEELS LIKE.

I know this man and he is a firm believer in peaceful communication and not a man that would ever condone the actions that he is being accused of?"
