though i'm not an advocate of violence, i remember sakia gunn and think, go 'head, ladies

Interesting update via feministing.com: The New York Times reports that the guy only said "Hey, how’re you doing?," while the New York Daily News at least suggests that his language was harassing, even though they call the women "A gang of petite but ornery lesbians." Come on, NYT (I really dislike that rag), even "ornery" lesbians don't stab you for saying hello.

Seven lesbians charged in straight man's stabbing

Mon Aug 21, 9:11 PM ET

SUMMARY: A N.Y. street vendor is hospitalized in critical condition after putting unwanted moves on a lesbian out on the town with six friends, police say.

Seven lesbians from Newark, N.J., attacked and seriously injured a street vendor in New York's West Village early Friday after the man grew angry when his advances to one woman were not returned, the New York Daily News reported.

Police said the women whipped Wayne Buckle, 28, with belts; the subject of his attentions, Patreese Johnson, 19, then stabbed him repeatedly with a steak knife, the Daily News said.

One of the women yelled "She's my girl, and no one hits on my girl!" during the incident, a police source told the paper.

"He made the mistake of spitting at one of them," Diego Rodriguez, who works at a nearby newsstand and called 911, told the paper. "They beat him up bad with belts, kicked and punched him."

Later, at the police station house, where the seven suspects, ranging in age from 18 to 31, were charged with gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon, another woman told the Daily News that Buckle "called us [homophobic slur] and he said he was going to f--- us all."

Said another: "He spit on us and threw a cigarette. This is a hate crime."

Buckle was recovering at a New York hospital in critical but stable condition. (The Advocate) If you'd like to know more, you can find stories related to Seven lesbians charged in straight man's stabbing.
