I think it was a case of one bad apple. A drunk, jealous boyfriend with an inferiority complex. This may, in fact, be the exception that proves the rule. Notice how incredibly up-in-arms the entire goth community worldwide (I noticed comments in her lj all the way from the UK) is over this. One goth gets stomped by another and every other goth/rivet on the planet is ready to defend her, and bring her attacker down. If anything, this makes me feel safer than I ever did.
Greg; if you look at the entry I posted that under now, I've included a link to her LJ with her side of the story. Pass this around until this guy gets brought DOWN. I have NO patience for this sort of behavior.
I seriously hope that someone contacted some sort of authority, interstate or no. And an asshole is an asshole; it doesn't make them more of an asshole merely because they happen to be into the gothic subculture. WE are nothing to be afraid of; liquored up jealous boyfriends with an inferiority complex apparently ARE.
it's heart breaking to me not only that it happened, but also that it happened at convergence (where one should feel safe amongst peers) is even sadder. :-(
If nothing else, at least the word is out about this guy everywhere. I've just spent the last little while trying to find communities to repost this in and from what I saw, people in NOLA and the area are all looking out for him. Still, it's a sickening incident.
