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 there you have it: more proof that hate crime laws protect several
kinds of groups. Thanks for posting.
