Iowa woman said she ran over a 14-year-old girl because she 'was a Mexican,' police say
[cnn.com]
From the article:
[ During her interview with detectives, Poole Franklin, a Des Moines resident, said she was the driver and intentionally struck the girl because she "was a Mexican," police said. Poole Franklin then "made a series of derogatory statements about Latinos," police said.
Authorities are looking at whether Poole Franklin running the girl over was a hate crime, Clive Police Chief Michael G. Venema said during a news conference. ]
- Sounds like a hate crime to me!

That's a hate crime alright. But whether the driver is just plumb out of her mind - who knows? Because that is NOT rational behavior to mow someone down just "because". (Even if you do hate people for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable.).
I'm just gonna wander off muttering now...

What the actual f...?! Yeah, of course it's a hate crime. I can hardly believe this story is real. Bets on whether or not she's a Trump lover?
