A hate crime investigation is under way in D.C. after a gay couples night out ended in a brutal beating.
Michael Hall Jr. has a broken jaw and a fractured cheekbone following the attack Sunday morning. The 29-year-old yoga instructor was operated on at Howard University Hospital Monday.

Michael Hall Jr. and his boyfriend, Michael Roike, were heading home from a restaurant just after midnight Sunday when they were ambushed by about five teenagers in the Eckington section of northeast D.C.
Four or five kids just came out of nowhere without any warning, Roike said. We didnt think it was a robbery because they didnt immediately ask for something. They just came out swinging and hitting.

I hope Mr Hall and his family and loved ones find peace and rapid healing. And may the evil little thugs find tolerance and repentance after a very long jail stay.
