IDAHO PRO-CHOICE VANDALISM NOT TREATED AS HATE CRIME
BOISE, Idaho, January 15, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A pro-life display of 3,000 small white crosses, placed in a churchyard to symbolize unborn lives eliminated by abortion, has been vandalized twice in two days.
On Saturday, members of Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Boise put up the crosses, only to show up for church early Sunday morning to find them knocked over. Parishioners put the crosses back up, but found them destroyed again early Monday morning by what police call a "large group" of vandals.
Two suspects, aged 18 and 20, have been charged in the first incident. Although police said in a press release that one of the suspects described himself as "politically motivated ... and that the two men disagreed with the pro-life statement communicated by the cross display," an Idaho TV station reported that "authorities say this is not being investigated as a hate crime."
