Michael Cassidy, a former congressional and legislative candidate from Mississippi, was charged the next day with fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. He told the conservative website The Sentinel that “my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”

"But quindraco, the first amendment guarantees freedom of thought and this should be a felony on its own merits regardless of the perp's personal opinions!"
You're not wrong, but Iowa doesn't seem to care.
Not for a hate crime he won't
Somebody's in the finding out phase.
