What is it with you folks who think that the idea of a "hate crime" is a good idea? Arson is arson, and that is a crime that carries a pretty severe penalty on it's own. If anyone had died in the fire, the penalty would of course be even more severe. If the perpetrator was an adult, he/she would end up in jail - or possibly even executed - for the rest of their life for murder/manslaughter. That seems good enough for me.
