Mary Lou Makepeace has little to go on: no proof of motive, only what was left behind from a late night vandalism at her place of business.
“These two rocks were thrown through the windows here at the Gay and Lesbian Fund building Sunday morning," Makepeace said Tuesday.
The rocks, put together, are about a basketball-sized chunk of concrete.
Grainy surveillance shots taken Sunday morning show someone was outside, but Makepeace said they aren't clear enough to tell police the whole story.
"I said I don't know if it's because somebody saw the windows and felt like throwing rocks through the windows, or if they had a touch of homophobia that caused them to throw the rocks," said Makepeace.
Others say the evidence is clear enough.
"It was a targeted crime. It was a hateful crime," said Jay Patel.
Patel directs a diversity forum in Colorado Springs, and says crimes like this do the city long-lasting harm.
The damage done to one building, he says, speaks to who is welcome and who isn't.
"The efforts of the EDC and Chamber of Commerce and other people to attract new business to the city to allow us to grow are hampered by the fact they feel they're not welcome to it,” he said. “It's an economics issue."
Makepeace says the GLFC is moving on from the incident, but feels it's still an uphill climb.
"This is the city of Colorado Springs. We have our work cut out for us," she said.
