Good it's about time they charged them with a real crime! Send their asses to Federal prison....
Thank god!!!! Justice is finally being done and proper charges being filed for crimes being committed
Guess they did'nt know that "hate" crimes work both ways. Not just Republican or white against black or men against women.
This doesn't look good for UMES. They will issue a statement that says that the actions of these women is not representative of the university's student behavior codes, etc.
If the evidence is clear, the court should be putting these two up as examples, not coddling them because they're "impressionable young adults" or "confused teens."
Hope the judge makes an example of them to send a message.
"Hate" crime? What a nonsensical term. Crime is crime. No need to add frivolous addendum to it.
Unless their white?
KUDOS to the State Fire Marshall's office for pursuing this and not sweeping it under the rug.
Good job.
He wont he is a liberal judge they will get a snowflake hand slap OR they will claim BLM.
I do hope they get the 33 yrs there looking at Arson is Arson.
