There are plenty of laws against assault as it is, “hate crime” augmentations are unnecessary, redundant, unequally applied, and deny equal protection under the law.
The whole idea should be scrapped. If someone is assaulted, prosecute the perp for assault... it’s not rocket science.
“Hate” crimes are hate crimes. Leftist idiocy and hypersensitivity produces them at their whim. What a malignant and pathetic joke on Freedom. I hate hate crimes.
