        No different than when those Trump signs were defaced & stolen in 2016.

        Hate crime? Perhaps extreme. Destruction of private property? Absolutely.

        No, it's a hate crime because he is taking the flags because they support LGBT.

        I don’t think you can really classify this as a hate crime logically. I think it’s awful what he did and incredibly homophobic but I think at most it’d be destruction of property

        You are probably right. It may pushing it too far, although his motives obviously were spurred by homophobia.

        Oh I completely agree. But we can’t let our political/social ideals overwhelm the clear and precise legal action that a certain action calls for or else we’ll have chaos.

        He is targeting People based on their sexuality so it would be a non-violent hate crime, yes.

        I understand, just think both sides are getting too extreme. Give the guy a ticket and if it happens again you can implement a harsher punishment like tagging him with a “non violent hate crime”.

        What is the "other side" of getting burgled? I really am not understanding the framing. As far as thinking the charge isn't fair, a detective investigated & was able to make the case that he was indeed targeting homosexuals. Maybe he had posted online? I don't know..

        Perhaps he just put the flags where they belong: outside an LGBT church?
