    Took them long enough.

    If it was the reverse, the Satanist would’ve been in jail right away and probably have been charged with a flurry of charges that aren’t even relevant to the event.

      I honestly doubt it. This kinda stuff always takes forever to make its way through the courts.

      The very fact that it is being considered a hate crime should tell you this is being taken seriously. They could have just prosecuted for vandalism and hand waved the hate crime aspect.
