  Catch the cowardly homophobes and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

  What is that phrase the Arpaio fans use?

  Oh yeah - ENFORCE ALL THE LAWS ALL THE TIME.

  There are several gay couples with families in Gilbert, there are also tons of Hispanics and adopted children. Chances are this guy is a tool who is causing his own issues. Look at the amount of calls to police. If you are an Ahole and people are harassing you that is not a hate crime! Also, if the doorbell scares your child, disconnect it, people do know how to knock. Having said that, if the children are effected, whomever is doing this really should stop for their sake.

  Putting crimes into a box labeled "hate" is the biggest bunch of stupidity and political correctness I've seen in many decades. What's the difference why someone commits a crime? They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law based on the crime, not the possibility of why they did it. Theft is theft, murder is murder, and harrassment is the same, no matter the reason. The stupidity of the far left in creating a whole genre of crimes which must be labeled, takes valuable time, money, and resources away from investigating the actual crime and catching the perpetrators.
