If I were ever charged with a “hate crime” I’d ask for what the legal definition was. To my understanding there isn’t one. How can I know what the boundaries are? At what point does art become “hate speech”. Surely this falls under free speech???

The irony is that Cuomo has just done the “Raise the Age” act which basically states that if you’re 17 years old and commit an axe murder then you can be let off because you didn’t know what you were doing

however so-called hate crimes of graffiti by a 12 year old are a different matter entirely and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Choking down the camel while straining out the gnat.

Art is “hate speech” if it attacks any group or thing favored by the left.
Art is fine art if it attacks any group or thing favored by the right.
