Yes. Clearly racially motivated. But I would think his mental disability just made him an easier target for the attack, imo, that is.
I'm sure we'll know for sure when the investigation is complete. As I said before, words don't make a hate crime; motivations do. Just because they didn't say "fuck disabled people" doesn't mean they weren't motivated by the fact the guy was disabled. These people were clearly motivated by multiple things since they mentioned Trump in their attack too.
