Really?

Church Vandalism a Suspected Hate Crime
Ventura County Sheriff's deputies are investigating the recent vandalism of a Moorpark church as a hate crime, authorities said Monday.

I don't want to sound like a wing-nut-glibertarian or anything, but are there organized gangs of satanists trying to scare Prespyterians these days?

Not that the church and its members don't have my sympathies- they do. But hate crime laws aren't really supposed to be used against stupid stoned teenagers with no agenda other than freaking their parents out, are they? Wouldn't your standard property damage/ vandalism laws apply?
