The definition of hate crime is a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or is a prejudice-motivated crime, which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership (or perceived membership) in a certain social group. This is what happened to a group of about 20 Trump supporters after someone stole Martin Sellers lawn sign supporting a democratic candidate. Sellers has been arrested for criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct after admitting to throwing roofing nails into driveways of residents who supported republican candidates. Sellers said he did it out of anger for the political system. To me this adds to the anger, and brings forth the question of why?
