Not going to happen. Look for an outraged community to to demand major charges.
Kidnapping is i think.
2’nd from the right...uppercut to the nose!
But this wasn’t across state lines. Hence the The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, 18 U.S.C. § 249. IIRC, this was passed, in part, because of the state lines thing.
I can’t tell you how much I hope I’m wrong, but I’m still betting they’re allowed to plead down.
Does president loony tunes know this?
Why do you think that?
There should be no official category of a “hate crime.” All such a designation does is introduce politics into the process of charging, trying, and punishing, as is clearly happening here. And it’s just another way for the federal government to assert control over situations that should be handled by the individual states.
Conservatives should be unanimous in wanting to get rid of the designation altogether, rather than attempting to get it to also apply to white people at times.
A person should be charged and convicted for what he did, not for what he was thinking when he did it, period. For one thing, a minor infraction, like throwing the bird at someone, could easily be escalated into a hate crime under certain circumstances. Just dump the idea.
Wonder what President-elect Trump thinks of the concept? Has anyone asked him, or hasn’t that occurred to the MSM yet?
Does it really matter what might happen locally? The new DoJ can still pick this up as a Federal civil rights violation and pursue it next month. Bad timing on part of the perps.
Collective IQ of about 300.
According to families all wanted to be brain surgeons and nuclear physicists.
Evil torture is a “stupid decision”?
No, it’s a hideous hate crime of the largest magnitude short of killing.
They should never walk free. Ever.
They were dumb enough to film it and show no remorse. Let them rot in prison. I wonder how their fellow inmates treat people who torture people who are mentally challenged?
Wow. Despite video evidence, CPD confirming it, etc. they are claiming it is fake or some weird conspiracy to make blacks look bad.
FOR 2 DAYS! FOR 2 DAYS!! Why can’t anyone in the media report that? He was held hostage, beaten, tortured FOR 2 DAYS! They want the public to think this was a kids prank done for an hour, no, he was tortured, beaten for 2 days straight!
I heard the story on news radio today and no mention of the Trump angle was made.
“...What a brood of Orcs if I ever saw some!...”
Many folks in these parts would call it: “A target-rich environment”.
The dead eyes of pyschopaths.
Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome’s kidnapping, torture, rape and murders were not hate crimes, IIRC.
Disgusting - look it up.
Because it does NOT fit white on black, right wing on Muslim, Trump voter on Hillary crime.
CNN has trouble with the truth, NOT a Hate Crime, NOT EVIL
What is your source for TWO DAYS? CNN and other fake news sources are possibly not reporting this fact so that Hussein and others can hide the truth. It is what they do
