Trev Broudy, 33, remained in a coma for nine days but now is in stable condition at Cedars- Sinai Hospital. He appeared in Eugene campus productions of True West, The Real Thing, Heav en Can Wait and A Black Comedy. Broudy was found lying unconscious on the sidewalk after two men wielding a baseball bat and a pipe assaulted him. According to police, he was hugging a friend goodbye when two men jumped him from behind. His friend escaped serious injury. Broudy worked as a model in the Los A nge les area and appeared in several industrial films before landing a small role as a television reporter in 2001’s The Fluffer. Directors Richard Glatzer and Wash West issued a joint statement after visiting him in the hospital Sept. 29. “A situation like this reveals a person’s raw ingredients, and Trev’s are the finest,” they said. “He is one of the most loving, charismatic, smart, funny people you could ever meet. And happily for his family, his friends and the world, he is indestructible.” Broudy’s mother, Joy Vemor, told reporters she was finding it difficult to come to terms with the attack. “I can’t imagine this happening to Trev because he is the least violent person.” Broudy’s attack was the first in a string of three vicious hate crimes that rocked the heavily gay city last month. Police believe the incidents are related. Three men have been taken into custtxJy in connection with the attacks, authorities said Oct. 1. Larry Walker, 29, and Vincent D itsun, 18, were charged with assault with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery and the commission of a hate crime. They are both awaiting arraign ment and are being held on $130,000 bail. The third suspect was in custody but had not been charged as of early O ct. 2. “We are so incredibly relieved there may be some justice for Trev,” friend Dave Walsh told PlanetOut.com. “T he whole community has been in a state of fear. We have the ability to take our own community back." E u g en e C o u n c il OKs A m e n d m e n t s T he Eugene City Council unanimously sup ported several human rights code amend-
