    she has accused the Satanic Temple of making filings that “are only meant to evoke strong emotions and incite others.”

    I don’t think anyone in the Satanic Temple would disagree with that. That’s honestly a pretty good description.

    It’s basically a rite of the religion, to stir up trouble. To rile people up until they reveal their hypocrisy.

    Took them long enough.

    If it was the reverse, the Satanist would’ve been in jail right away and probably have been charged with a flurry of charges that aren’t even relevant to the event.

      I honestly doubt it. This kinda stuff always takes forever to make its way through the courts.

      The very fact that it is being considered a hate crime should tell you this is being taken seriously. They could have just prosecuted for vandalism and hand waved the hate crime aspect.
