I hope they're all charged with hate crimes, because they deserve the harshest punishment possible. That was such a disgusting display. How can Christians claim they're the ones who are persecuted and ostracized in this country?

Actually, it looks like that wouldn't be the first hate crime charge for some of the suspects. The MySpace pictures are pretty telling of how the kids view violence.

They should be charged with hate crimes.

I hope at least some of them are. They need to ID who said the hateful words and that will be the fuel for a hate crime conviction.
