My wife arrived home from a trip to the store and told me the car had been attacked by someone with ketchup/mustard. They splattered the hood and the side of the car with the fast food weapon from the nearby hamburger joint. Is this to be considered a federal hate crime?

They were Tesla owners. Still sore from Elon's tweet last week.

Vandalism is vandalism, don't need to call it anything else like a hate crime, simply report it as such. It's also a felony if over $400 damages. In California, hate crimes need to be for actual or perceived one of the following:
  • Race or ethnicity
  • National origin
  • Religion
  • Gender identity
  • Genetic information
  • Medical condition
  • Marital status
  • Primary language
  • Citizenship or immigration status
  • Political affiliation
  • Position in a labor dispute
  • Physical or mental disability
  • Your association with a person or group with one or more of these “actual” or “perceived” characteristics

Pardon my personification but the car was born in Mexico and now resides in the USA. ;)

Sad......It happens to ICE cars too. I had my rental vandalized in CA while travelling for business almost two years ago. Someone wrote "I ♥ Pelosi" all over my windows with a paint pen......... True story.......Sacramento

The Mustang Mach E is not a protected class.
Hold on hold on… genetic information - even though it’s a “new breed”, it’s got the DNA… plus I’m pretty certain it identifies as Mustang.

I'd argue a car's brand *IS* it's race. But how can you prove they wouldn't have "Hot Dogged" a Tesla also?
