Hate Crime laws were always idiotic. They only make sense when the crime itself is relatively minor, such as vandalism (even then its probably still idiotic). When the crime is already horrible (such as kidnapping and torturing a mentally disabled person), you don’t really need to add extra charges on it...these people should never be allowed out in public again regardless.
All crime is hate crime... the penalties should be severe as a deterrent ... these four should get life for their murder attempt...
It was always a bad idea, inherently racist and the day will come when it is used for racial persecution.
The concept of a “hate” crime is contrary to our Constitution.
A law should simply state the offense and the consequences. There shouldn’t be a rider they can heap on top to modify it.
Besides, all violent crimes are hate inspired. Nobody would commit a violent crime against someone they liked.
“In our hypersensitive and litigious society, too many agendas have warped the once-noble idea of hate-crime legislation.”
“hate-crime” legislation was NEVER a noble idea, it was always directed only at white people, Christians, heterosexuals, and most often white males, and was ALWAYS politicized from the get go.
The problem is the black on white violence
(Holdering) is PROTECTED by the DO”J” and FB”I”.
Protected so much, that CBS changed the races
and LIED about what was said.
Give them death or life in prison, along with
removing the license of CBS, and it will end.
Aside from being idiotic, if they can’t even call it like it is, that this was pure racism on a par with the KKK, just because the perps were black, then f@#$ it.
The were never a “good” idea in the first place! The law already forsees that crimes my be committed with malice and / or are premeditated - which “worsens” the sentence someone might receive.
“Why” that malice is there is immaterial.
....just watched a segment on FOX29 out of Philly
where some dyke was all wee weed up over trannies
being raped attacked and murdered (24 in 2015...22 in 2016) across the nation....ranting on about TRUMP has to have AG’s across the nation address this crime.....another case of selective rage
How can any crimes be punished worse than the death penalty or being locked up until you die in prison?
The only context in which it makes sense is a crime committed in order to provoke a race war, because then the motive is to expand the act into a political statement, or signal to the masses. To call it a hate crime just because a violent perp screams a racial epithet while assaulting someone is plain dumb.
I have always supported very long sentences for rapists, murderers, armed robbers, child molesters, and other violent criminals. The point, when we cannot just execute them and permanently remove a threat to the innocent, is to warehouse them and remove a predator from society for years or preferably for decades.
I have also always opposed the classification of “hate crimes”. Violent crimes are not committed out of love, and the precise motive for unprovoked violence is not terribly important. Lock them all up, whether they hate gays, blacks, Jews, or everybody, or just like hurting people.
“Hate crime” laws, just like the “Civil Rights” laws, were designed to legislate the Liberal agenda on America! They were SOLD to America as “noble causes”, but they were never intended to be used for any semblance of good - PERIOD!
Both of those laws are just like the term “assault rifle”! They are nothing but trigger words designed to solicit a viral response from a dumbed-down populace.
The Civil Rights laws REMOVED the rights of business owners and the right to association, etc...
Hate crime legislation is a war and a militarization of police. IT makes someone thinking something an enemy of the state just as a muslim should be for good reasons thought to be a suspicious foreign individual regardless of nationality.
Hate crime legislation should not be a language of our civilian justice system but at best something our military handles against foreign actors, ie muslims, communists and Nazis.
It should not be domestically used.
There is a better word than hate crime, which is treason and traitor crimes!
Hate crime is by definition thought crime
No, was never a good idea.
The concept of “hate crimes” merely stands for the proposition that some victims are more important than others.
“Hate crime” excuses crimes against hated groups.
Orwellian.
