This is the same city that charged a man for drawing a swastika in gravel with a pressure washer.

Attack and harass a random woman and her two daughters in public, traumatizing them. Proudly admit on camera that you are a racist and you face no legal consequences. Draw a stupid symbol and you're charged with one count of offence motivated by hatred.

Obviously not a hate crime but

her hijab was incompatible with Christian values,

Religion has no place in public life. He should be charged with infringing on people's freedom from religion for bringing up Christian values in public.

    Obviously not a hate crime but

    Idk... he says he's racist. He's proud of it.

    Sure doesn't seem like a love-crime either.

    I'm all for freedom from religion, no blasphemy laws and all that good stuff. But wtf kind of double standards do we have where drawing an ancient symbol is illegal but attacking a random family for their religious dogma because of your own dogma is acceptable?
