The literal meaning of the law disclosed by the coverage only emphasizes the prohibition of blocking the access to a religious or community center. That's what's added. If they are still using the word "hatred", it won't include more groups unless they have this overt action.

Conversely, I concur that the police's response to hate crimes has been severely inadequate.

Moreover, while the lawfulness of a protest will not be changed by the law if the protesters don't block the access, the right to protest is disproportionally restricted by the existing legal system.
