WELL, IT’S NOT THE PINK PISTOLS, but it’s a move in the right direction:

On the morning of Friday, Oct. 25, two men, Fidel Serrano, 23, and Martin Hernandez, 21, were arrested for battery and the commission of a hate crime, after they tried to attack a gay man outside a West Hollywood bar on Santa Monica Boulevard. The man, who has not been identified, fought back when Serrano and Hernandez jumped from their car and began hitting him in the face and head with their hands. In a surprise move, the victim struck Serrano, knocking him to the ground.

Serrano and Hernandez jumped back in their car and tried to flee, but were stopped by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputies less than a block from the attack.

It’s amazing how much less people enjoy this kind of thing when the victims fight back.
