Iowa City church defaced by racial vandalism [View all]

This happened last weekend

People attending an Iowa City church Sunday morning discovered spray-painted swastikas, bible verses and obscene language on the church's exterior.

"I think the person that did this was basically a coward," said Tony Burtch. "I can't say that enough."

The church has since added cameras to watch over people to address the lingering fear and to catch anyone who might be up to no to good.

The person or people who did it would be facing, at the least, criminal mischief for defacing the property. If the motivation was to scare members of a certain religion or other group, it could be a hate crime.

Gee, ya think? That's some ace reporting there KCRG.

Gonna jump out on a limb here and guess these are Orange Fornicate/Grassley/King/Ernst/Reynolds supporters.
