A 22-year-old man was shot and killed early Sunday in Florida after he defended his friends from someone who had been shouting about how he hated gays and wanted to kill them, witnesses told authorities.

Juan Javier Cruz and some of his friends, some of whom were gay, had been eating and hanging out at Restaurante Y Pupuseria Las Flores in Lake Worth, Florida, at around 1 a.m. One of Cruz's friends told detectives that when the restaurant closed, their group and other diners went outside and were confronted by Nelson Hernandez Mena, who began threatening them.

"I hate you damned gays, I’m going to kill you all here," Mena allegedly shouted, according to what witnesses told the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

When Cruz defended his friends, Mena pulled a handgun from his pants and fired several shots, killing Cruz and wounding another man in the ankle, who told investigators he believes he was targeted because he is gay.

I'm appalled. May Juan rest peacefully and that homophobic/waste of oxygen/trash/scum/murderer rot forever.

It takes a lot of courage and balls to stand up for LGBT rights, specifically for a heterosexual man, who was only protecting his friends...it makes me so sad. I hope he rests in peace and that his family gets justice for this crime. We are so close to eliminating homophobia...its these people who kill/punish people for being themselves who are holding us back :saladga:

So sad. America...the most violent first world country on earth. About 40,000 deaths by gun this year already.

And people have the nerve to say that they need a heterosexual pride month and marches when this ****ing happens! :saladga:

I'm so mad! :madge:

People don't get killed for being heterosexual but they do get killed for being homosexual! :grr:

May he Rest In Peace, he died standing up for others, he died as a true hero. :heart:

Yes, there are places that are worse but America goes into the same category.
