This guy appears to have commuted a predetermined crime, willful destruction, in that he went so far as to cross state lines to do so though labeling it a hate crime seems a bit silly to me.
Government buildings shouldn't have ANY religious displays in them, because this kind of thing can happen. Having a religious display, of ANY religion, in government buildings should be illegal.
The Mission Of The Satanic Temple Is To Encourage Benevolence And Empathy, Reject Tyrannical Authority, Advocate Practical Common Sense, Oppose Injustice, And Undertake Noble Pursuits.

I'm not sure why they didn't drop the ram head symbolism or all symbols of Satan if they are an atheist religion.

Destroying property in a government building, what did they think was going to happen?
probably the same things that happened to all the folks that tore down statues all across the state over the last few years. Not a #ing thing.

And that's just how vandalizing things in public tends to go.

"Seven people have been arrested in connection with the toppling of a Confederate statue during a protest this week in Durham, North Carolina, authorities said.
The Confederate Soldiers Monument was pulled down during a Monday protest at the old Durham County Courthouse to show solidarity with anti-racist activists after last weekend’s deadly clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia."

RALEIGH, N.C. -- "Three people have been charged in connection with the toppling of the Confederate monument on UNC’ campus known as Silent Sam."
Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall confirmed three people face charges of misdemeanor riot and misdemeanor defacing of a public monument.
“I met with investigators yesterday and they felt like misdemeanor charges were the appropriate way to go and I agreed with them,” Woodall said
Woodall said those facing the charges are not UNC students."
