St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tarzana found at least ten spray painted hate messages on their outdoor walls
this morning. The acts are being considered a hate crime because of the words written including "Revelation 666," "Satan Lives" and "False Messiah."
Pastor Sean Defrain is stunned that people who deface a church like this on such an important week. Although the crime is heartbreaking, he says that it will not affect the services planned for Easter Sunday.
The multi-agency House of Worship Task Force, which includes local and federal investigators, are handling the case and are the ones to decide to treat it as a hate crime.
Things that seem harmless and even funny to some can be serious crimes and hold serious consequences. This is a crime where it may seem that no one is hurt when in reality a lot of people are hurt in a deep way. Los Angeles Defense Attorney Robert Michael Helfend can help in cases like these. He will do everything in his power to get the charges lessened or dropped for the defendants in this or other cases because he knows that a great defense is important no matter the crime.
