Woman accused of tossing fruit at gays (charged with hate crime)
San Francisco Examiner ^ | 03/06/07 | Brian Foley

Posted on 03/06/2007 2:30:10 PM PST by presidio9

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 wasn’t 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.

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?

It's a crime to hate? Well, then all hate should be prosecuted. Like Bill Mahar for starters.

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.

Now it's throwing fruit.

Soon it'll be showing fruit.

Then it'll be possession of fruit with intent.

In time the fag... um, I mean John Edwardses will be demanding fruit bearing trees be cut down for fear of offense.

Where will it end? WHERE WILL IT END!?

Clearly she thought this was a poverty stricken couple or she would not have given them fruit and vegetables then offered them English pork meatballs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
