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

22-year-old Darion Ray Sexton admitted to intentionally setting fire to the church on January 19, the Justice Department said in a press release. According to Fox 31, the arson occurred at Abiding Love Lutheran Church.

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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

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.
