I’m concerned with the word “Perceived” that is peppered throughout this bill.

It seems to extend the “hate crimes” from violent action to thought.

That concerns me more than the blatant violation of the 14 Amendment.

By definition, hate crimes legislation has ALWAYS been about thought. Hate is not an action; it is a thought.

You can kiss freedom goodbye whenever the RATS hold power.
