Video of a man shouting homophobic abuse at a lesbian couple on the street in Portland, Oregon has been making the rounds on social media.
It all started when Trudy Dragoon and her wife, Wendy, found a lost dog and went door-to-door looking for its owner. How exactly things escalated is unclear, but what happened next is truly horrific.
“You look like a f*cking man, let’s go,” the unidentified man says in the video, raising his fists as if preparing to fight. “Act like a f*cking man, get hit like one, c*nt. Gay pride ass b*tch!”
He continues, “Come on, come on, you’re a f*cking woman. I’d f*cking knock you on your fat ass, you fat cow.”
How about we take this to the next level?

When Trudy responds by saying, “You think that you scare me?” the man replies: “You think you scare me, you’re a f*cking woman!”
The three-minute video was captured by Wendy and later shared to Trudy’s Facebook page, where it has garnered over 60,000 views in less than 48 hours.
Trudy later tells the man: “You’re so scared right now, you’re shaking.”
To which the man responds: “Oh, I’m so scared of a f*cking lesbian? I’m so scared… I should be so embarrassed of a f*cking lesbian on my property? Look at you, you f*cking embarrass America!”
The video ends once a police officer arrives at the scene.
Speaking to her local news station, Wendy says the officer refused to get involved, instead telling the women: “Not until he actually physically assaults you, there’s nothing that can be done.”
In the video’s description, Trudy writes:
So this just happened. After he sped up like he was going to hit is as we crossed the street. And then a “good guy cop” rolled up and CLEARLY did not want to help us. Before he even got out of the car he was telling us to ignore him and just walk away. Then told us he couldn’t do anything. These little fuckers live around the corner. It will take them no time to figure out which house is ours so I guess we wait until we are physically assaulted before we can get help.
A spokesman for the Portland Police says the department is investigating the incident.
“The Police Bureau is aware that speech, such as the speech present in this video, instills fear in members of our community,” Chris Burley, a public information officer at Portland Police, says. “The Police Bureau works with community members and community organizations regarding bias crimes.”

These women are being as aggressive as the guy is being, if not more. You can’t claim somebody’s harassing you when you’re following them and getting all up in their face. Now they’re claiming how scared they are, probably hoping they can get some sweet victim dollars from gofundme or something.
Juanjo
Yup, just like DCguy said, here come the ones blaming the women.
Chrisk
Wow. Right on cue.
JAWIWA
You’re kinda cute. Are you a power bottom or do you just lay there and whimper?

So they are supposed to cower and take the little pukes vitriol? Why don’t you just go away and troll some other site???
scotshot
They weren’t following him, They were almost side-by-side.
theafricanwiththemouth
Wow, you fell right into that one didn’t you?.. LMAO
btw, your comment, it’s quite shallow. You’re a shallow minded fella for posting something so… Shallow.
They may have followed him around, but that guy was being insanely offensive and yet you still look for away to make him seem like a victim?
I love how the DCguy predicted the coming of your shallow personality.
DarkZephyr
You’re always on the side of homophobes.

The women stood up to an asshole who insulted them, got even more upset as he continued to hurl abuse at them and, according to you, THEY’RE in the wromg? GTFOH!
tham
He can’t be a Russian, he’s username has a pic
Heywood Jablowme
Yeah, like that little twerp could beat up a lesbian.
Fortunately, this being Portland, he’ll quickly be identified and fired, etc. IF he has a job! Are we sure he’s a “man,” though? Could easily be underage, even 15? So is the barefoot stoner dude his dad?
Chrisk
Yeah, that’s going to look really good him bragging about beating up women. Looking at him I doubt he’s actually employed anywhere.
drmiller
Two words: white trash. This guy deserved none of their time. They should have laughed in his face and walked away.
Chrisk
What fun would that be now.
Mack
He’s probably upset because his girlfriend told him he had a tiny wiener.
Gigi Gee
Or that his buddy wouldn’t let him give him a handy.

She messed up by continuing to walk up on the guy. If he had knocked her teeth out, a prosecutor would have a hard time getting an assault conviction because she was as aggressive as he was if not more so. In fact, it would not surprise me if the prosecutor declined to press charges. What she SHOULD have done is kept her distance, kept the camera rolling, and allowed this ass-hat to put HIMSELF in prison.
scotshot
They were crossing the street. He was a few feet away following them.
Gigi Gee
“If he had knocked her teeth out, a prosecutor would have a hard time getting as assault conviction because…”
Where did you get your law degree? ?????
prarie pup
@Gigi Gee: the prosecutor would have had a hard time getting a prosecution BECAUSE THE WOMAN WAS AS AGGRESSIVE AS THE MEATHEAD GUY, IF NOT MORE SO!!
Yes, he was wrong for doing what he did, but he was across the street. SHE THEN APPROACHED HIM. That can be seen as an ACT OF AGGRESSION, the guy was merely defending himself, and any lawyer worth his salt is going to play up that angle. You need to convince 12 jurors in order to get a conviction and I can tell you right now, the fact she walked up on him–and GOADED HIM–is going to turn off at LEAST one juror.
So like I said, she shouldn’t have walked up on the guy; THAT’S where she messed up.
shakes_head
I wonder what I would be charged with if I approached a cop that way. Probably a couple of bullets.
Gigi Gee
ShowMeGuy — You must be an asshole.

White trash mouthy dumb as shite punk. I’m with the ladies all the way. If there were a fight, it wouldn’t be a fight, she would knock his as* out cold.

Never mess with a Lesbian.
