"vandalized". I have a strong suspicion that if a different sub set of the population committed the exact crime the headline would include the word terrorism.

  In North Carolina, the state terrorism law doesn't cover that. There has to be an intimidation component. Same for Washington state.[1]

      When they originate with quotes from local officials, it's not unlikely.

  > if a different sub set of the population committed the exact crime We don’t know who did this. Any assumptions about how one group is being treated relative to another is projection.
