A Few Good Yale Bashers
Thursday, February 15, 2007

An update on the Yale-bashing story from New Year's Eve in which members of a Yale singing group were beaten up on the streets of San Francisco, allegedly after gay slurs were thrown around. Now lawyers for the victims are saying that three U.S. Marines were involved in the attack.

As many as three U.S. Marines were involved in the alleged New Year's attack on the Baker's Dozen singing group, an attorney for two singers is claiming in a letter that asks for the head of the Marine Corps' help in the investigation.

The case -- which sparked outrage on both coasts -- began with a dispute at a Richmond District party and ended with members of the singing group telling police they were kicked and beaten. One singer, Sharyar Aziz, Jr., suffered a broken jaw and another, Evan Gogel, a concussion.

In a Feb. 9 letter to Lt. General Robert R. Blackman, Jr., the head of the corps, attorney James Hammer named only one of the Marines allegedly involved, saying that he "was one of the men at the center of the attacks and we believe (he) personally participated in the brutal attack on both students.''

I've been saying for some time now: This case has the potential to be much more serious that the Duke rape case, which is obviously disintegrating before our eyes.
