He said that as the women walked by, he spoke to one of them because he found her attractive.
Buckle said a heavyset woman in the group said something rude.
"She just started dogging me out, being loud and disrespectful," he said. "I think I called her an elephant and told her I wasn't talking to her."
The number of times a man addresses random women on the street respectfully and devolves to calling one of her friends an elephant and spitting within moments are vanishingly small. I think if we had audio we'd probably hear something along the lines of "Hey, mamacita, you hot! Wanna get it on? Wanna be in my movie?"
"Buzz off, dickwad, we ain't innerested!"
"I ain't talkin' to you, Jumbo!" And so on.
What the story as presented indicates is that nobody behaved appropriately. By all means, get the women, and their male friend for assault; but on that (minimal) evidence, this is a trivial use of the hate crime law, and the victim's attitude sets off all the alarm bells primed by experience of people for whom any woman who rejects them is automatically a man-hating lezbo and those so-called minorities need to stop whining 'cause straight white males are the real discrimination victims.
