Wilton Manors Feels The Pain Of Hate Crime

It's A City Of Over 13,000 People, 35% To 40% Are Gay

WILTON MANORS (CBS4) ― Three homes and five vehicles were sprayed with anti-gay slogans in the 2800 block of NW 7th Ave in Wilton Manors early Friday morning. 

One resident was using soap and water to wash out the anti-gay messages sprayed on his property.

He explained to CBS4 Reporter Ted Scouten that he's not gay, which is all the more worrying why he was a target.

Another resident, Ron Helfrich, said his home and car were defaced, "They wrote gay on the door, in the living room, and on the couch."

''There's no reason for this to happen,'' Aaron Challancin said. ``We didn't do anything to anyone. We're normal people trying to live normal lives.

The incidents are being investigated by the Wilton Manors police department.
