This was a hate crime against The Covenant School.

I understand there are voices -- on the left, on the right, and everywhere else on the political spectrum -- trying to politicize it beyond that. But no one should disagree that this was a horrific crime committed against innocent people (including innocent children!!!!) with malice aforethought.

Let's not lose sight of the simple, irrefutable, and most important fact that innocent people (including innocent 9-year old children) died because of hate.
