			<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately this type of behavior is nothing new. I am a member of St mark and my partner and I were robbed at gunpoint almost 9 years ago. They only targeted gay couples and had robbed more than twelve people in a single night. Fulton County judicial system allowed them to put us through hell for more than 5 years before it finally came to trail. This included nails in tires on days we were to testify and taunting by the assailants during court. After they were finally convicted the then sitting Judge stated, "I hate to put another young black man in prison." After a few months in prison one of the men files an appeal and won because they failed to ask us on the stand if Park Drive was in the city limits. When we had to return to court for yet another court date, I asked that this be tried again as a hate crime and the then and now sitting Judge stated with quite the smirk, "The court will not entertain this type of accusation." The assailant then pled guilty and what did the genius of a Judge do? He gave him two years off his sentence for good behavior! Good Luck!]]></description>
