<description>The King County Prosecutor&apos;s Office has dropped charges against Matthew Oly and Bryan Krieger, who were accused of harassing and threatening Marcus Wilson—the former manager of the Pony nightclub—on Capitol Hill last September. According to King County Deputy Prosecutor Mike Hogan, Krieger&apos;s attorney presented prosecutors with another potential suspect. Wilson was unable to positively identify whether or not the third suspect was involved in the incident, and prosecutors decided they&apos;d have trouble making their case. Additionally, Krieger passed a polygraph test about his involvement in the gay-bashing. According to Hogan, the prosecutors have apologized to Oly and Krieger. &quot;[The] fear...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I am not surprised.  Seattle is slowly becoming more and more hostile to gays.  We may have our rights protected more by the state but the fucking red necks that are moving to Seattle will beat the shit out of us.</p>

<p>I predict that this summer there will be several violent attacks and possibly murders of gays or lesibans on Capitol Hill before September.  This is just going to get much much worse. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hogan is a stand-up guy and has been more than supportive of the community in his years with the KCPO.  I take him at his word that if there wasn't a case, there wasn't a case.</p>

<p>The reality overall is that as the LGBT community progresses in the rights arena, the fringe crowd that have been and always be "afraid" will become more vocal and more violent.  Hutcherson is just such a case of that along with his cronies.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Capitol Hill is not going to be very gay friendly. let me give you a quote from the future residents of Capitol Hill. "Look at me, I wear second hand clothes, look like I am on welfare, and look like an extra from a grunge music video from 1995 even though I live in a very expensive condo." Capital hill is going to be filled with a new, mutated, form of hipster called the "Hipsterus Basherus", commonly known as the violent hipster. They have the general look and smell of the common hipster, but they have a violent hatred of gays and will attack them on sight. So if you are walking around in capital hill and see strange looking guys wearing really smelly dungarees, a skin tight t-shirt, and those tiny little hipster glasses, call the police. They hate gays because their general cleanliness and niceness goes against their smelly and unwashed ways. </p>]]></description>
