V.K Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Oh,God.It's good that it reached here,at least. Since Friday ,when it happened ,media and some authorities are relentlessly attempting a cover up,demonizing Zak, burying and manipulating evidence etc. Zak was a VERY prominent member of the greek gay community.Probably everyone who is gay in Greece knew of him . A great guy and a HUGE loyal Madonna fan . I still can't believe this happened to him .I ,like many others ,are shaken to the core . Loads of misanthropist reactions to the incident ,this murder has brought out Greek society's true and cruel colors.Truly ,what happened to him is one of my biggest fears ,a lynch mob of self righteous pigs acting as law. Till Friday i thought it stemmed from my neurosis but it appears it's not there without reason. He was a fighter in life and became a great symbol ,sparking great public debates ,in death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a disgusting brutal horrible death. Just mind boggling and horrifying that this could still be happening. The men who killed Zak should all be jailed for life. Lynch mobs are disgusting violent examples of human barbaric ignorance, intolerance and cruelty. RIP Zak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Zak. @Jazzy Jan it's incomprehensible ,my mind resists to process i'm living next to such monsters .Happened very few blocks from where i work.Makes one feel personally threatened .Anger and horror are my two moods since Friday (when the media was still reporting "an anonymous drug addict",LIES ,as if it really was a drug addict it would be OK to just lynch him to death) I was considering leaving the country ,now it feels urgent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ,there is no such evidence .And the guy was nothing like that ,truly .There are videos from the incident and more to come.I cant yet stomach to watch them ,after 2 secs i stop. Witnesses' reports are very contradictory till now Let's suppose he did try to steal , do you lynch him to death? That's jungle law p.s. that's his last profile picture ,with M featured p.s.

karbatal Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Horrible story. The rise of intolerant groups in some EU countries is really worrying. And to lose a fighter in such an unfair way. I hope Madonna writes a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolo Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Disgusting and appalling. Seems like the world is spiraling backwards into a lawless violent shithole. The fact that there even is a discussion about this and people defending the shop owner and the other mobsters... says it all really.

sotos8 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The man was trying to steal a jewelry store and he tried to escape according to reports .The owner of the store with at least another man brutally kicked him when zack tried to exit the store. That what cameras showed. Three coroners who are trying to determine the cause of his death ( one is representing the family ) clearly stated that the beating is not the cause of his death He was not beaten cause he was gay Some now say that he got scared ,entered the store because there was a fight going on outside and got trapped inside the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
