Depends on the state. In many states there are no “hate crimes”. They are enhancements to other crimes. When they catch the person and charge them, that’s when you’ll find out.
The 1st amendment allows you to burn books but you can’t do it to intimidate people on a protected class.
I think burning religious text makes you a garbage person but that’s me. If you don’t agree with a religion. Don’t participate in it but don’t be an intolerant bigot and try to piss people off my insulting their religion
I think the issue is that it isnt being investigated as a hate crime, which makes the issue systemic.
