A Florida man is facing hate crime charges after allegedly smashing the window of a vehicle with three young Black teens inside and shouting racial slurs.

According to a news release from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, the incident took place at a gas station before 3 p.m. on Jan. 22 in Osteen, Fla.

The teens, who are between 17 and 18 years of age, were getting gas when the suspect, 58-year-old Richard Burnham, became "hostile and aggressive" toward them and started using racial slurs, the news release states.

An incident report obtained by PEOPLE from the VCSO alleges that Burnham used the N-word during the attack and broke a window on the passenger side of the teens' vehicle with a pipe taken from his truck.

6. This position is off the wall for smashing windows and yelling slurs.

Maybe if there is murder involved the State should consider a death penalty.

7. Sure, why not? Seems reasonable. N/T

3. taking on 3 people 40 years younger than you doesn't seem like the best idea...

kudos to the young men for (at least as far as the article says) keeping their cool and letting the police handle it.

4. straight out of casting from the 1933 movie, "Freaks"

5. What's his defense, stand your ground or something even dumber?
