The incident began when a delivery driver tore down a Pride flag displayed at Blaze Pizza and was confronted by employees, which led to the assault.
Witness Chance Chacon described the situation as 'like a mob,' noting that upon returning with two other men, the assailants started swinging at the restaurant employees.
An employee sustained serious injuries during the chaos and was hospitalized with a concussion and head trauma, showcasing the violent outcome of the hate crime.
Despite the attack and threats involving homophobic slurs and vandalism, the targeted individuals remained resilient and emboldened in their stance on equality.
