We would all know because it would be a national story for weeks.
Some interesting info there. Thanks for the link.
“Arkansas may not have hate crime statues. Here in Georgia, there is not such law.”
In states without the laws, however, the Federal Laws can be applied.
You seem to be implying there is a Federal law regarding hate crime that could be applied. Link?
America would be a safer place today if it were merely millions of wild Hyenas roaming the streets.
Although state laws vary, current statutes permit federal prosecution of hate crimes committed on the basis of a person’s protected characteristics of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability.

Were the links useful to your research?
Weeks hell! It would be National news for months, if not years.
Even if Georgia had a hate crime law, it only applies if it is White on Black crime. If it is Black on White crime, hat crime laws do not apply.
Incorrect. All hypothetical since we do not have such a law. All crimes are motived by hate, no love crimes reported yet.
