Not everyone. Some of us assumed it was a hate crime from go. Others seemed to take the stance that it wasn't necessarily a hate crime as a way to justify or minimize what happened.

I don't think this assessment is accurate. I like to hear the facts before making up my mind definitively. Many of these crimes appear from the start to be hate crimea. Waiting to hear, or see, confirmation of same is not the same as minimizing or justifying a hate crime. It's waiting for the facts to be revealed. Supposedly we don't prosecute based on assumption but rather on the facts.
