It is a book. Nothing more, nothing less. If I own said book, I am free to do with it what I want. Claiming it is a "hate" crime to do something with a book is retarded. I also think it is Unconstitutional. Where are all the liberals whining about the 4th Amendment, the 8th Amendment, the 1st amendment? NO ONE has a Constitutional right to be protected from being offended.
When did this man purchase the toilet? When did he become the owner of the bathroom? When did he buy the university? While I am not sure if the copy of the Quran belonged to him I do know that the University, bathroom and the toilet did not belong to him at the time. This act was first an act of vandalism, second an act of criminal mischief and third an act of aggravated assault. There is no violation of the 1st, 4th or 8th amendment here. This man's freedom of speech does not include defacing public or private property, nor does his right to free speech extend to the right to assault others or create fear. While no one has the right not to be offended. They do have the right to go out in public without having to deal with shitheads like you and to go about their daily life without fearing that they might walk into a public restroom to use the toilet only to find a copy of the Quran, the Bible, a black doll or any other offensive item in the toilet. They have the right to feel safe walking into the bathroom and not fear walking in on a man writing racial or religious insults on the walls and when they protest being attacked by that man. That you think the 1st, 4th or 8th amendment makes criminal acts legal and constitutional sickens me. That is the exact opposite meaning of the Bill of Rights. It isn't to give us the freedom to do whatever we want but to give us the freedom to live. I suggest you read Locke idiot since you don't seem to grasp that without law than can be no freedom. If everyone could place objects in a toilet (a picture of a naked woman isn't free speech) than we are in a shitload of trouble.
