A statue of Jesus was smashed and an American flag burned outside a Catholic church in Brooklyn — in what cops are calling a possible hate crime.
The incident occurred around 10 p.m. Thursday when an unknown person hopped the fence at St. Athanasius Church on Bay Parkway at 61st Street in Bensonhurst, police said.
The vandal pushed over a statue of Jesus’s crucifixion, breaking it into pieces, and torched an American flag hanging outside the rectory, according to cops. The church’s pastor, Msgr. David Cassato, noticed the act of vandalism around 8 a.m. Friday and reported it to the NYPD, the Diocese of Brooklyn said in a statement.

>>>what cops are calling a possible hate crime.
Possible. They still aren’t sure?
Possible hate crime? What else could it be? No one accidently topples a statue.
Yep, he told BLM & antifa “go ahead, smash and destroy everything normal people hold sacred.”
Just one day later, they are at it.
I have a dream that they all get enfiladed my SAWs.
Hate is something very nebulous in our society.
The police are calling this a “possible” hate crime. How do they keep a straight face peddling this guano?
Are normal people ever going to get fed up with being told they are stupid? Because that is just what the police said.
Nah...it was a love crime!
Hate is a Motive, it isn’t a Crime.
Hate Crime Laws are Thought Crime Laws that you would expect to find in Third World Bolshevik run Shithold Countries, not the United States of America, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
That’s the church I went to when I lived in Brooklyn. Attended St. Athanasius Catholic School from 1st to 6th grade. So sad
Democrats in charge: intifadah in Israel coordinated with deep state criticism of Israel, and in America we have flag burning associated with traitors at the DOJ criticizing America
From the looks of it the statue can be repaired. It’s amazing what the can do. Would hope they do it and put up surveillance cameras and a fence or maybe electric shock triggers.
Love crime? Call Jeb! Bush. He knows all about people who commit crimes because they love this country.
