Maybe if enough leftist are prosecuted for hate crimes they will think twice.

(I was unaware of the details of Charlottesville)
Thanks ro all posters. Very interesting.
How would 2nd degree murder import a death penalty? Is the suggestion by WAPO that when and if he doesn’t he’s sympathetic to that ‘side’?
“The state charges of simply causing bodily harm to other against Mr. Fields made more sense to me than this travesty.”
Have you or anyone else defending this guy actually seen/read whatever he posted? Fox radio news reported that he had praised the Holocaust and called for mass murder of the groups he hated. The report might be false, and I don’t admire the “Thought Crimes” concept. The question is whether he crossed the line between “political opinions” and specific calls for violence and genocide against targeted groups. I don’t have a problem with prosecuting those who exhort others to commit crimes and terrorist acts, be they radical Islamic clerics or white supremacists. The “hate” aspect speaks only to motive and hype. Whether Sessions is right to charge Fields depends on what Fields has said and done. He can argue about its meaning, and evoke the First Amendment at trial.
A good lawyer should pursue discovery of whether the feds or state/local police had any informants or agents involved in the entire affair, then depose Kessler, et al, on the same subject.
I wonder why him and not a leftist who does the same thing?
(rhetorical question)
