Yelling "Faggot", California Woman Throws Fruit at Gay Couple
A California woman was arrested, booked on suspicion of misdemeanor hate crime and misdemeanor battery and released after she drove by a gay couple in her van, rolled down the window, and threw fruit and vegetables at them while yelling the word "faggot". From the Examiner:
Tiffany Adler, 20, who works at a grocery store, was a passenger in a van in Pacifica on Sunday when she spotted a gay couple who frequent the store, according to police.As the van drove by around 7:50 p.m. on the 500 block of Esplanade Drive, she allegedly rolled down the window and threw apples and vegetables at them, police said. Later, the van turned around and approached the couple again as she allegedly yelled the word “faggot” at them.
According to the police: "Her statement was that she wasn’t aware that they were gay. She thought they were people that she had a prior conflict with."
Right. Had she just finished watching Hannity & Colmes?

Oh, bigotry. And you are right, the uber-b*tch in the flesh goes to Faux 'News' and scoops close to Hannity (but begs out of a discussion with intelligent people) to justify herself. Her Karma is going to be what she is.

Ho hum. I know neighborhoods where you don't even stop at a red light at night. You get shot at.

She probably stole the fruits and vegetables from the grocery store she worked at also.

Matt DO NOT give up the good fight. Patrick try not to insult grocery workers to that peice of human waste, it is insulting to them. This girl is just another example of someone who should be pulled out of their car and beaten.

and in some neighborhoods, it's very difficult to get great salad mixings....and these people are just throwing it away.
yet, it's amazing what i've seen thrown around and away in the realm of information or presentation these days. then again, this type of presentation doesn't surprise me.
i saw a familiar face in the paper the other day -- from times in passing through san francisco (as well). supposedly, and in great tragedy, this homeless woman was doused with fuel and ignited behind a dumpster because of her boyfriend's drug debts. proliferation of pathetic imagery and practice is cancerous.

Thankfully it was only a minor incident. This shouldn't be happening in the first place. She needs to be punished. I don't buy her story; it's a cover up.

Probably some pent up anger at her parents for naming her Tiffany...

Get with the program. Assult is assult period. She sounds like a cashier from hell. We all have had to put up with one or more of these. The stores don't like bad press and I would say charge her and fire her.
What ever happened to the gallows.
Just a thought.
