If this was a Ramadan display, it would be a Hate Crime. So it’s a Hate Crime
I agree with you. On the books it is a hate crime.
My point is that crime by it’s nature is rooted in hate.
It is unfortunate that we now live in a time where this is no longer recognized.
I would still investigate this as terrorism as he is a repeat offender; specifically as he has previously destroyed another Ten Commandments monument.
