The two women hadn't made it as far as Adams Street a block away when they heard yelling back at the house. They ran back and found a truck stopped in the street, and the occupants were taunting Andrews, calling him "faggot" and "Mercedes," a feminization of his first name, Simpson said.
The beating occurred early Friday and as recently as yesterday, Waterloo police maintained that it was unclear why Andrews was targeted.

"How thankful I am for Waterloo. For this wonderful, decent, god-fearing community... This was such a fine community to be born in, to grow up in, to work in (Bachmann left Iowa at age 13), to be a part of. I'm just thrilled with pride when I think what Waterloo put into our family... This is what we need more of; we need more Waterloo...
