Back in the United States, one of the men left injured in an attack on a Massachusetts gay bar has filed a complaint alleging paramedics gave him poor treatment because of his sexual orientation. Robert Perry was hit in the head and shot in the back when 18-year-old Jacob Robida attacked him and two others earlier this month. Robida later killed himself during a police chase. In his complaint, Perry says paramedics delayed taking him to a hospital, were physically and verbally abusive, and shared private medical information without his permission. Perry, who himself directs an ambulance service in Boston, said he had never seen an ambulance crew acting “so cruel and hate-filled.”
