Hopefully the gays learned how to defend themselves against fresh fruit.

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.
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.
