I have been ill and not reading or getting out and just heard about it. It makes me sick. It was a beautiful nativity. People sometimes forget that even in so-called liberal places hate exists. You go less than 100 miles east from Claremont and you can find yourself in neocon haven. Our local paper had an article that stated the police were treating it as a hate crime but the article has disappeared.
