Los Angeles: Police say church vandalism is hate crime
— Santa Rosa De Lima Catholic Church in Maywood is mostly Hispanic parish of 10,000
— KABC reports: ” ‘They destroyed the image of Jesus and the Virgin Mary and the parish hall,’ said Father David Velasquez. The suspects wrote 666 in ketchup on the walls, stuck a knife through a painting of the Virgin Mary and took a cross and displayed it in a sacrilegious manner. Police said the suspects went as far as to defecate in the auditorium, located next to the kitchen.”
