A white Kia belonging to Washington State University student John Kraus was found vandalized with hate messages Thursday morning. Pictures of the car were posted on Facebook, apparently by Katie Noble, WSU violence prevention educator. Hundreds of people commented on them. "Die Faggot," "Fag!" and "Go 2 Hell" were some of the words painted in red on Kraus' white Kia. Pullman Police said Kraus contacted them and reported the vandalism and hate crime Thursday morning/Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here.
