District Attorney Kevin Hayden called the incident involving Angela Foley 'the latest example of hate-based behavior that must be recognized and rejected for the social malignancy it represents'.
"The hateful language used by this defendant as she committed several offenses in front of neighbors was inexcusable. Hate speech is not always illegal in our country, but it is always unwelcome in the Town of Winthrop," Winthrop Police Chief Terrence Delehanty said in a statement.
"Incidents like this demand a response, and these types of incidents and hatred are part of the reason the Winthrop Police Department has a dedicated Civil Rights Officer. We must respond to these incidents and make it clear that this kind of hatred is not acceptable to our community."The case follows the arraignment Friday of a Boston man who allegedly assaulted and injured another man on the MBTA's Andrew Station platform while yelling homophobic slurs.
