Barbaric thugs are brutally beating queer people in broad daylight - and proudly streaming their attacks for the world to see

Footage which has alarmed LGBT+ activists in northern Belgium shows a group of boys barricading a street in broad daylight before pinning their victim down, hurling homophobic insults and violently punching them. A week on since the video, of an attack in Leuven, went viral on Twitter, an investigation by Het Laatste Nieuws found that the perpetrators are tied to a gang called "Criminal Justice" who "hunt" queer people while proudly broadcasting their attacks onto social media. [...] More chat records show that those involved in the Leuven attack - where the perpetrators shouted the Moroccon anti-gay slur "zemmel" at the victim - believed the victims involved were gay.
