An assistant basketball coach at a Philadelphia area Catholic high school has been fired for his alleged involvement in the savage beating of a gay couple that took place in Center City last week.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia confirmed to the Philadelphia Daily News last night that 25-year-old Fran McGlinn had been fired from his position as an assistant basketball coach at Archbishop Wood High School immediately after it was learned that he is allegedly one of the visibly intoxicated and well dressed assailants who beat two gay men in a surveillance video that has had the entire community on edge for the last week.
He was terminated this evening and will not be permitted to coach in any archdiocesan school, Gavin added, noting that McGlinn was not a teacher and only working on a contract basis. We expect all those who work with students in our schools to model appropriate Christian behavior at all times.

So, not only would Jesus beat the shit out of the fags, he'd also steal their wallet.

(18,124 posts)they were found quickly but my guess is they'll plea down to a slap on the wrist, you know, they were intoxicated. I will really be surprised if their crime gets them ANY hard time.
