A Pacifica woman was arrested Sunday on suspicion of a hate crime for allegedly throwing fruit and vegetables at a gay couple while riding in a van, police said Monday.
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.
The gender of the couple was not immediately known.
At least some of what was thrown appears to have hit the couple, according to the police report.
Adler, the only person arrested, was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor hate crime and misdemeanor battery and released.
Her statement was that she wasnt aware that they were gay, police Sgt. Jim Tasa said. She thought they were people that she had a prior conflict with.
A court date has been set for April 13.
She could have just yelled out "John Edwards" at them.
Throwing fruit at gays...and the problem is?
"Woman accused of tossing fruit at gays (charged with hate crime)"
Tossing fruit at fruits!
ROTFLMAO!
But where these .50 caliber assault fruits? And can a person even say "assault fruits"?
Amazing - had she thrown fruit at a couple of soldiers or at elderly tourists (or just about any average joe) there wouldn't have been any reaction at all by the press but throw fruit at gays and it is a "hate crime." Where is this country headed?
This was a Hate crime?....It must have been a 90 mph orange.
Awaiting DNA results I guess.

Well, the bannana might have gooten lodges some place it shouldn't have...
It's a crime to hate? Well, then all hate should be prosecuted. Like Bill Mahar for starters.
At least she wasn't tossing salads.

Hopefully the gays learned how to defend themselves against fresh fruit.
Could one consider this a Blue on Blue engagement?
What really kills me is the "Male Lesbian" category. That one slays me!
Thanks to modern genital mutilation plastic surgery, DNA is no longer permissible evidence of sexuality. Gender identity is personal in the city of fruits and nuts.
Maybe she was just making a delivery.
WILL SHE HAVE TO GO TO REHAB?
Afterward, the offended couple went home and played in each others' feces.
Drive-by fruiting?! Only in San Fran Sicko! LOL!
Throwing fruit at sodomites is more criminal than throwing fruit at non-sodomites because...
Okay, I give up. Help me out here.
No good deed goes unpunished...
Liberals can throw pies at conservatives but not the other way around?
Apparently you are a subject of patriarchical brainwashing! Don't you realize that gender is a societial construct, not something you are born with? Of course, your biological sex is something you are born with, but there is a broad spectrum of them, not just a binary "male" or "female" selection. Off to the re-education camp university gender in culture course for you!

Want to be the van was marked with the store's name too?
I'm not a fan of "Hate Crimes" but this kind of stupidity should be a capital offense. We don't need her poluting the gene pool.

When did Ann Coulter move to Pacifica?
I thought "faggots" were guy queers and girl queers were "dykes" or "lesbos"?
Isn't hate and hate speech protected by the First Amendment?
I propose a national fruit registry.
.......so true....after all, fruit is much more expensive in the winter....she was only trying to help them out..
LOL
Shock therapy for sure. After she serves 25 years. (With Scooter Libby) But Child murderers and pedophiles get 2 to 5 years.
L.O.L....here we go......they kept the cucumbers..
Funny how throwing fruit and cursing out someone is enough to get you arrested for a "hate crime", but cursing out your own country, committing blatant treason, supplying the enemy with aid on a regular basis is "freedom of speech".
How much gays and liberals from San Fran feel offended by the "f****t" word, they should consider I feel a billion times more offended by what they have done and continue to do every single day since 911.
The search for a motive in the incident proved fruitless.
"The couple, identified only as 'Pat' and 'Chris'...."
And here I thought poin-ted sticks would have been the bigger concern.
Hi,
Look at the current HIPPA standards for hospital admittance:
1) male
2)female
3)other
I thought that it was a joke when I first took a course in that area of coding.
reagrds,

I think the gays would have loved pointed sticks.
Do they provide Fruit Cocktail Credits? How about #10 can? (That would do some real damage)
That's a "shim".
Come on now!~ This is a case of apples and oranges!
Keep your trashy fantasies off this website, please. Children might read this, and they'll not enjoy reading such graphic descriptions as much as you might.
Something odd has happened to Freerepublic...
Imagine the outrage from this story if one cuts the "gay" from the story and substitutes "conservative". The outrage would spill out....but throwing food at the queers, hell, that's just good old fun "conservatism".
I swear, half the folks on this board really make me scratch my head.
I think the concept of "hate crimes" is a lil pathetic, but so is rooting on the knuckledraggers who throw fruit out of vans.
"WILL SHE HAVE TO GO TO REHAB?"
Yes, she's obviously bananas.
