When Bayna-Lehkiem El-Amin hit Jonathan Snipes over the head with a chair at a restaurant in Chelsea-NYC, the video went viral as soon as it hit the Internet. I stopped counting, but I remember being in the office and at least 20 people had sent me a link to the video or a news story, along with a handful of friends who messaged me directly, asking why I hadn’t made a comment or a post about it. My newsfeed was full of angry gay people calling for justice and/or blood.
The security video showing the entire attack was released weeks ago and I just saw it for the first time yesterday. Why isn’t it viral? Why isn’t everybody sending me links to post what really happened?
