A man has been charged for extreme expression of hate and intolerance after he threw boiling water on his girlfriends gay son and his partner.
Martin Blackwell, 48, was charged with two counts of aggravated battery after he threw boiling water on the gay couple while they slept, inflicting the kind of `pain that won't let you sleep'.
Marquez Tolbert, one victim who spoke to WSB-TV 2 about his injuries, told them:
"The pain doesn't let you sleep. It's just, like, it's excruciating, 24 hours a day, and it doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't dial down, anything. It's just there."
The 21-year-old and his boyfriend, Anthony Gooden, were sleeping at Gooden's mother's house in College Park when Blackwell came in without warning and threw boiling water on them.
