We're so sad to hear this story - 'Possible hate crime in Grand Rapids under investigation.' What are your thoughts?

Heard on Facebook

I don't think there is any "possible" about it. This is clearly a hate crime.
-Scott McClure

We can't call it a hate crime until the police label it one. But from what the victim explains, it certainly sounds like one, doesn't it?
-Between The Lines Newspaper

Now if this were between different ethnicities, it would have been labeled a hate crime automatically, no question about it. So what is with the questioning about it being a hate crime? Some things I just do not understand.
-Ang Kay

I am not terribly surprised. There are lots of decent people in that area, but also a lot of folks stuck in the dark ages. Lots of "Christian Taliban" over there.
-Mark Schelter

If the police don't call it a hate crime, does that change what it was? Does that apply to "police brutality" also?
-Steve Duerksen
