This is a hate crime. They trespassed on private property, in the middle of the night, to burn a symbol that the home owner holds sacred.
What’s next, bricks through windows in the middle of the night? They should be tried as adults for a hate crime.
“They should be tried as adults for a hate crime.”
Wrong.
They should have the book thrown at them for trespassing, theft, etc. If they had fathers worth a crap, hopefully they will get a good ass-kicking, and a personal apology to hand out individually, and respectfully.
You can suggest they be tried for “hate crimes,” right after you define what a “hate crime” is without violating the US Constitution and borrowing from the Leftist Lexicon.
