Last week I wrote about Indiana gay teen Dynasty Young, who was bullied and then later expelled from Indianapolis’ Arsenal Tech High School  for carrying a stun gun to school to defend himself.

Today Bil Browning at The Bilerico project is reporting that Dynasty was attacked and assaluted at a downtown mall by a 34 year old man named Khyran R. Delay who “recognized him from the news”

According to court documents, Delay told mall security officers that he recognized 17-year-old Darnell “Dynasty” Young from news coverage of his story and tried to talk to Young about it. He said Young got in his face and that he pushed Young.

But Young and Donald Richardson, a janitor who witnessed the incident, told police that when Young walked past Delay’s table in the food court, Delay told Young to get away from him and used homophobic slurs. They said that Delay pushed Young and then hit him in the face, according to court documents. Richardson said he radioed for mall security, and then Delay came toward him because he was mad that Richardson had called security. Security officers arrived and detained Delay.

Delay has been charged with a misdemeanor count of battery.

The heartland has no heart.
