If society insists upon having idiotic "hate-crime" laws, then they should
be applied equally. This criminal act was directed at Christians; vile
hatred being the motivation.

Thief arranges Nativity figures to appear 1 of Three Wise Men worshipping
sheep
Police in South Florida are investigating a possible hate crime after a
"baby Jesus" was stolen from a Nativity scene and other figurines were
rearranged to make it look like one of the Three Wise Men was worshipping
a
sheep.
After months of controversy over whether or not to even erect a depiction
of
the birth of Christ, the Cascades community in Port St. Lucie, Fla.,
finally
posted a small display last Monday in its clubhouse, only to have someone
abscond with a three-inch porcelain figurine of Jesus lying in a manger.
"It's unbelievably ugly," Gregory Siracusa told the Stuart News. "It was a
hate crime. That's about the only way I can say it."
Police spokesman Rob Vega agrees that a hate-crime charge could be filed,
should a suspect be caught.
And what if it was nominally Christian kids out having fun? Is it still a
hate crime?
