As much as I feel it was just an awful thing to happen, aren't there more pressing issues for the State Police and Saratoga Police to be dealing with? Like finding those three people who trashed a race horse statue?

The FBI were contacted as well. A FBI spokesperson commented that "in this day and age, we feel that the use of all government resources to protect the feelings of its citizens is always justified"
By the way, the girl in the picture has put it past her, and is encouraging everyone to move on.
