    In violation of Satanic Tenet IV: The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

      1. Our laws should not be and are not tied to any religious laws.

      2. The hate-crimer willfully and unjustly encroached on the freedom of another, therefore he forgoes his own freedom.

      3. Tenet II: Don’t let dipshits get away with hate crimes.

      I don’t think this would be an actual violation. The freedom originally encroached upon was the TSTs freedom to display their statue. By willfully and unjustly encroaching on that right, the accused forwent their own.
