A diverse crowd came together at this year's Chinese Festival in Portland, Oregon, with many participants coming out to show support for a local botanical garden and tea shop victimized by an act of vandalism. The vandal then allegedly traveled over a quarter mile and used the stolen granite to shatter a window at the Lan Su Chinese Garden's teahouse. While authorities have yet to confirm the incident as a hate crime, community leaders and garden officials have expressed their strong belief that the act was racially motivated.
