Although I know some may say that Wilson "brought this on himself", no one deserves to have the shit knocked out of him. Why must people always resort to violence?
He said when Johnson spotted him recording, he went inside his apartment, then returned for what Wilson thought might be a confrontation — but that Johnson simply asked for help changing a flat tire on his car.Atlanta Gay Man Bashed With Bat While Helping Man Change His Flat Tire | Advocate.com
Wilson said he offered to repair the damaged tire for money rather than replace it with a new one. Johnson then allegedly asked Wilson how much he would charge for the fix. Wilson said he quoted $10, but Johnson said he didn't have that much money. That's when Wilson made a joke.
"You already gave me a free peep show," Wilson told Johnson, telling WSB he was referring to how Johnson's pants sagged below his waist, exposing his underwear. "So I'll go ahead and do it for free." Johnson apparently didn't take well to the comment.
"During the time when I was fixing the tire he kept asking me what did I mean by the 'peep show,' and I kept telling him don't worry about it," Wilson told police, according to records obtained by Atlanta LGBT newspaper Project Q. "I finally told him I was joking about it and told him not to worry about it." But Johnson wouldn't let it go.
"He asked me if I'm straight and I said, 'No, I'm gay," Wilson recalled to WSB. "He went off telling me he wasn't gay, he was straight, he hated gay people." Wilson said he apologized for "coming at" Johnson, according to the police report.
But when he then collected his tools from his own car and turned around to leave, Johnson began hitting him in the head with a baseball bat.
