Santa Cruz is very well known for its tolerance for everyone (except for those they disagree with).

Won’t be a hate crime.

And we all know why.

Some anti-church slogans and symbols were painted, he said.

Possibly they could figure out if this was a "hate crime," or even what the motivation was, if they took the trouble to read what those slogans and symbols said. Or even reported what they said in the news release.

If this had been a crime against some black organization or home, we could be quite sure that all the slogans and symbols would be thoroughly reported--or even invented, if necessary.

I haven't been to Santa Cruz since the late 80s, when it was infested with 1960s, filthy, drug addicted hippies.
The public park was strewn with so many zonked out bodies it looked like a war zone.
In fact, my company allowed us to stay in the Dream Inn which was very expensive, but safe.

I’m surprised Holy Cross Church was lacking security cameras and a burglar alarm system. I hope they add a security system now in order to ward off future attacks by these left-wing nut jobs.

When I read about incidents like this, thoughts of Spain pre-civil war come to mind.

Vandalism of Christian churches has not been a common tactic of Moslems in the United States or Europe, up to this point. Moslem attacks on Jewish sites in Europe have grown commonplace.

This type of vulgar destructiveness is the hallmark of homosexualists, atheists (those devotees of “Reason”), and anti-life fanatics ... and the same person often fits all these categories!

Father Junipero Serra was not only beatified by the Catholic Church, but has a statue in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol:
