1. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Best wishes to your nephew. I hope they find out who did it.

[malaise]

2. WTF?

Hope he's OK

[Demsrule86]

3. So Sorry....

[fierywoman]

4. I'm rabidly furious in sympathy with you.

[Wawannabe]

48. Idk what to say because I am so shocked -So

Rabidly furious is a pretty good description of my emotions right now and through out much of the last (almost) 4 years.

Heartstrings nephew did not deserve this treatment and the fury has no outlet!

I can now empathize with the entire black community on the helpless fury they must feel regarding white supremacy and the killing of their children, mothers, father, sisters and brothers.

Also, fury for the LGBTQ community as in this case. What must be in a person's soul to make them haze, beat, or try to kill someone over their sexual preference. That’s a private matter.

Fuck.

5. My god....

Sending positive vibes. I'm sorry this is happening.

[magicarpet]

6. Crank up the hate Donald,...

This is the end result.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Exactly what I thought.

[Tipperary]

7. Were there riots in that area, or does he think he was specifically targeted?

Scary anyway. Terrifying, actually.

[Heartstrings]

38. Specifically targeted.

[Phoenix61]

8. How awful! I can't begin to imagine how

you feel. Keep us posted.

[Scruffy1]

9. 6th Congressional District.

Michelle Bachmann's old fiefdom.

[certainot]

41. in Minnesota, 4 limbaugh stations depend on the university of min-

all those stations were instrumental in all the racist bigoted propaganda the GOP needs to sell voter suppression and divide us to stop single payer, global warming action, and any major reform

in the MN communities, stations using uni of min logos/brands used black athletes for community cred , like all over the country, to attract advertisers to pay for excusing and egging on the modern KKK

[mahina]

10. Oh my God

Wishing him comfort and whoever that coward was caught! That’s insane.

[crickets]

11. omg I am so sorry.

I am stunned someone would do this. It's awful. I hope he'll be okay.

[Shanti Mama]

12. So sorry. Press must cover!

Without press reporting we will never know if this is an isolate incident.

[SnowCritter]

46. Checked the local news sources this morning

Nothing yet.

The St. Cloud/Central Minnesota area, of which Monticello is a part, is a hot-bed of right-wing nutjobbery. Around here ignorance is celebrated and stupidity is an aspiration (at least for those on the "right" ).

[Shanti Mama]

47. Anything we can do to help?

We can inundate them with requests to cover?

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Sorry to here that.

Sure hope the young fellow pulls through.

Friggin Monti area is a hot bed for the Neo Nazi's.

[stillcool]

14. damn...hope everything works out okay..

poor guy.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Yikes!!

I hope he recovers quickly.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

16. Horrible. Send him a bunch of DU hugs and best wishes......

for a speedy recovery, both physically and emotionally. Hope his home is not destroyed and can be repaired.

That's arson, perhaps domestic terrorism and likely a hate crime.

Please let us know if they catch these coward criminals.

KY.............

[Evolve Dammit]

27. amen

[Blue Owl]

17. Fingers crossed a neighbor had a security cam

These assholes must be caught, charged, and locked up

[Heartstrings]

39. He has a "Nest" aimed at the front door

It caught the episode.

[dlk]

18. I hope your nephew will be ok

Unfortunately, Trump is in the WH promoting domestic terrorism. I’m so sorry for your family.

[paleotn]

19. Good thoughts for you and your nephew. Awful.

I'd be pissed too. What the fuck is wrong with people?!

[NNadir]

20. Oh my God. The country is coming apart with hatred.

I'm sure all of us here hope for a speedy recovery!!!

[Scarsdale]

21. What a coward.

I hope the damage was not devastating. He could have ben killed. What is wrong with everyone living their own lives, their own way? I have a nephew who is gay, also. I would hate to have this happen to him, or anyone else for that matter. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by an act like this. I sincerely hope your nephew is alright.

[cwydro]

22. Is there a news link?

That Facebook link takes me to my own page.

[Ford_Prefect]

24. It seems the page has limited access. Not surprising since maybe it's only for family & friends.

I got this notice.

This Content Isn't Available Right Now

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

[cwydro]

31. I just would like to see the news reports on this.

This is horrendous.

[Heartstrings]

34. Haven't been able to get any news coverage yet, although a local

News station did contact my niece (his twin)....I will post more as I get info.

[Roc2020]

23. There will never be peace because evil hatred

is so much easier and comforting to so many. mankind is sick with no cure. I hope he is ok.

[Niagara]

44. I don't remember seeing you before.

Welcome to DU, Roc2020.

[Roc2020]

53. Thank you!

[Ilsa]

25. OMG. I hope the police catch the hateful coward who did this.

I hope your nephew recovers well with no permanent injuries.

[Joe Nation]

28. I know the Monticello, Big Lake, Becker area very well. I am unsurprised.

Rednecks and yokels.

[TalenaGor]

29. omg 😭

[GentryDixon]

30. This is horrid.

I hope he is ok & will heal well. ❤️

[Cha]

32. I'm so sorry, Heartstrings!

I hope he's ok!

[diva77]

33. How horrible and frightening!!!

I am so very sorry. I hope it will be investigated to the furthest extent. Please let us know how he is doing.

[littlemissmartypants]

35. Oh, no!!! I hope he's going to be ok! I'd be pissed too!

Please keep us updated.

[niyad]

36. How utterly horrible. Sending healing vibes for your nephew, and may the hate monger who did this be

[electric_blue68]

37. Oh, No!

Strength to him and you all! s

Beyond disgusting, and terrifying!
So sorry! Keep us posted.

[the_sly_pig]

40. Michelle Bachman's district ... a State embarassment.

sorry about your nephew

[MLAA]

42. I am so sorry 💕💕💕💖💖💖

[Niagara]

43. Sending healing vibes and energy.

Thinking of you and your family, Heartstrings.

[lillypaddle]

45. Horrific!

Healing vibes and prayers to your nephew. JFC, what the hell is wrong with some people???

[Tipperary]

49. Does he assume it is someone who knows him?

Some rando throwing things at windows would likely not know he is gay, I would think.

[SergeStorms]

50. I'd be more than happy to chip in...

to any reward fund. If you have a go fund me page for damages and hospital bills let us know, or PM me. This is inexcusable. Send my BEST wishes to your nephew for me.

[Doreen]

51. There are some horrible people!

I hope your nephew is going to be OK. I hope there are not any physically permanent injuries. I also hope that he is going to be alright mentally.

[denvine]

52. That is awful! I am so sorry!

Wishing him a quick and complete recovery! I am so exhausted from being angry all the time because of all the orange menace and the assholes he has emboldened and encouraged. I don't know if this has his fingerprint on it but almost everything ugly and evil in these days are because of the tone he has set in our country.

[ancianita]

54. I hope police find the filthy cowards. This was attempted murder.

Here's SPLC's MN map of hate groups. There's a "general hate" group in Annandale, up the road from Monticello.
https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map?state=MN

It's general info, maybe useful maybe not.

I hope local homicide detectives are on the case.

[angrychair]

55. So sorry

This is disgusting and I wish him a fast recovery and that the criminal is caught soon.
