3 men sentenced in 2019 assault on gay couple in Austin, Texas
Slap on the wrist.
Three of the four men accused in a 2019 assault on a gay couple in downtown Austin won't serve any additional jail time after reaching plea deals.
The three men each pleaded to two counts of misdemeanor assault with a hate crime finding, even though the Austin police detective who investigated the fight reported about a year into the investigation that he did not believe the assault was a hate crime. The attorney representing the man whose charge was dismissed said the case was "motivated by misinformation."

Trying to imagine how the police would react to a black man speaking to them the way she does.

Gee, I wonder what would cause homophobia to go up in what was supposedly one of the more forward-thinking parts of the sovereign state of Texas.
