Three people were arrested for attacking a woman and making anti-gay remarks in Mastic Beach but were not charged with a hate crime on Monday, Suffolk police said.
Seventh Precinct officers responded to a fight on Gooseberry Drive and upon arrival found that three people had attacked the victim and while kicking, hitting and pushing her, they made numerous anti-gay remarks about her sexual orientation at 7:05 p.m., police said.
Hate Crimes detectives charged Nora Mitzner, 21, of Westhampton Beach, Lindsay McBeth, 25, of Medford, and Selwyn Icangelo, 20, of Mastic Beach, with second-degree aggravated harassment.
It was not immediately known if they were represented by attorneys. A police spokesman said the victim’s injuries were not serious enough to merit assault as a hate crime charges.
Lindsay McBeth
“According to what the victim told us and what the press release stated, it certainly sounds like a hate crime to me,” said David Kilmnick, CEO of Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth. “I’m still hopeful it will get followed up as a hate crime.

I am a friend of Linsay’s and I am appauled that this is even being pointed her way. If you know Lindsay, you know how good of a person she is…It is unfair for them to even have their names involved with this!!! It is disgusting….seriously! I am so happy that their names were cleared and Lindsay is in no trouble at all!!! GO LINDSAY!!!
I am Selwyn’s girlfriend and the real story is that the lesbian was stalking the guy that lives at the house across from her with his wife and kids. That street is very white and racist and her neighbor is spanish. She would call cps on him take pictures of his guest. That day Nora and Lindsey came to visit and the girl came out and started bashing the cars with a bat. Thats when Nora came out to confront her and the lesbian swung at her. Lindsey and Selwyn were only bystanders and its sad that they are making this a hate crime when the girl is the one who is racist. That whole street is racist. I am glad that they wont be hit with a hate crime. Selwyn served 4 months for watching a fight because he has a record. Its all hype people nothing more.
Anything that I assumed was confirmed with the dolt I speak of.
What’s wrong with thinking that your a higher achieving (better person) than others? I support more people, I pay more of other peoples bills and I am (part) of the reason that, people who don’t get married and have kids, people who listen to loud abrasive gang music (while throwing garbage out of your car window) are allowed to survive as people. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!
I also don’t understand why you assume I an educated? That is an ignorant comment in itself.. Because i spell well, speak English correct? Those are basic skills that are learned in GRAMMAR school……I can assure I do not hold a college degree even. It’s called the Armed Services of America.
And let me assure you partner that my replies have been more than mere banter on a persons extremely poor use of our countries language but more of a reply on how he/she makes her self the core reason people from “that area” have a extremely poor reputation. Good day and God bless.
Rockel621, I am over it. Whether Lindsay is innocent or not, she has to deal with the humiliation of her mugshot in the internet. And I heard they kept repeating her arrest on the local TV news. So I am over it. Later. Have a good life. Stay out of trouble. The things I said about you was just anger.Think before you write. That is it for me. Getting to more important things in my life.
angel2 I agree with you completely that people should also be discussing the other 2 but your sister came on here and stirred up a hornets nest…so now she has to deal with the backlash. Even though someone sent her an email she should have been adult about it there are lots of other ways she could have handled herself but she chose to be childish and petty and no matter what she or you say thats how we’re all gonna percive her…thats something else she can hang on to for a couple more years…I’m done with this site it’s getting to monotone.
Angel…now your anger makes sende but that still doesn’t give you the right to pour salt on a person’s wound by writing all the shit you did about that girl …you say you’ve moved on but obviously not because look at you taking such pleasure in her hard time and trying to drag her name as fsr down in the mud as you can…listen to your sister and get over it, stop holding on to the past. The first time I came on here was to defend my friend Arianne but then i read the things you were writing and I could not help my self…it’s disgusting and you’re wrong about me I do know lindsay the good,bad and the ugly,and no matter what we have been through I would not put her business out there like you did…thats triffling and i’ not that,now you said i’m a head case a trailorpark mom and whatever else you’ve called me but do you know me…no and you made snap judgements because you didn’t like what I had to say I don’t even feel the need to defend myself I just laugh at your ignorance…the fact is you’re a bully or trying to be…but it’s ok i’m not phased by your words like I said from the jump you’re an ass…you just sound petty and stupid,listen to your sister GET OVER IT!!
