Two teens have been charged in the beating of 15-year-old Steven Harmon, which I posted about on Monday:
"Steven Harmon told the Kalamazoo Gazette for a Thursday story that he was punched in the head and face about 20 times while being called 'faggot' and 'queer' by two other boys.The Gazette reported Steven suffered bruising, a swollen lip and eye, and a fracture to a bone near his right eye.The boys, ages 15 and 16, have been charged as juveniles with aggravated assault, the newspaper reported."
A thorough account of the assault here.
The teens will likely not face hate crime charges as the state's hate crime laws do not cover sexual orientation. Harmon's mother speaks in a video I posted on Monday, AFTER THE JUMP…
