A Tulsa, Oaklahoma man was violently assaulted by a gang of three who chased after him in a muscle car, and shouted homophobic slurs as they hit, slashed, and stabbed him around midnight in a residential area of the city. (Towleroad)

Queerty has a report from the victim’s partner:

“They started out by calling him a faggot as he was walking down the street minding his own business and they told him not to look at them….but he didn’t even look in their direction. As he went around the corner they got in their vehicle which was a mustang late 90’s early 00 model and sped toward him and the male got out of the car. he then punched him in the back of his head and that’s when he started to have to defend himself. He kept telling them just to leave him alone and go about their business… As he was restraining the male the older of the 2 females came at him and bit his cheek and began to saw at his head with a knife…then ended up stabbing him in the knee!”

Of course, this is just an isolated incident, not something that occurs with frightening regularity, right?
