Hey now, there are limits. Besides, it’s not like it’s “hate hate”.

Problem solved. A piece of paper that says that it is unlawful. Will it go farther? Who will obey and who will uphold the law?

So the knockout game will continue to be played but laws against it will be drafted to protect some victims of assault but not others?

Asians can take care of themselves. No victim mentality. no need for hate crime legislation. I’d let it happen to me once. After that i walk around like Bernie Goetz. How about an Asian mafia? Pay dues to take care of these perps.

which will ONLY be enforced against white people who hate on Asians- Blacks who make up the vast majority of folks who hate on Asians, will be exempt from the bill no doubt-
