        It should be a crime to put up those "flags" especially in a church area where you know they don't believe in it. That's the hate!

        Theft is considered a hate crime?

        Yep, depends on what you steal. Keep that in mind.

        I'm just confused how you can determine theft is motivated by "hate" without slurs or assault...or destruction of surrounding property

        If stealing a LGBT is a hate crime, what is burning that American Flag?

        This is an abuse of a stupid law. Hate crime laws are absurd. Nobody was harmed.

        Wow.... That's a hate crime? I remember when a hate crime actually involved violence.

        Lbgt people don't treat us normal people any different so fuggum they get what they deserve. They hate us for being normal and they never accomplish anything other than being annoying and in the way of real motherfuckers trying to live an pay bills while their hands out begging.

        So a flag celebrating sodomy is taken from a church. What’s the problem?

        If not hate crime, it is anyways offensive.
