A Colorado man has pleaded guilty to a federal hate crime in connection to a fire set in a Loveland, Colorado church in January.

Sexton admitted that he set fire to the church by throwing two Molotov cocktails inside, one through the front door and another into he basement. He further admitted that "he was motivated to set this fire due to the religious character of the church and that he intended to destroy the church," the press release stated.

Now that he has his name in front of Colorado voters, I think he plans to run for governor as a democrat.

Rather surprising. I thought hate crimes went only one way.

While the arsonist was a White boy so I guess they went with White Nazi Supremacist Militia.
