Was Orlando Burglary a Hate Crime?

12:23 H | Topics: Florida - Race

Ihatericans.jpgWhen does a crime become a hate crime? That is the question surrounding a burglary in Orlando, Florida. Not only was the Aguirre family robbed of their car and $8,000 worth of items, they were also victims of hate messages on the walls and doors of their home.

"I was upset because it was something that I can't believe," family member Lisa Martinez said. "They drew on the doors. They said, 'I took your car, I'm a white boy and I hate Puerto Ricans.'"
Additionally the criminals poured bleach into the familiy fish tank, killing all the fish.
