I don’t think anyone is defending the guy. People don’t like the hate crime aspect because it is unclear that’s an important aspect of crime control, and difficult to prosecute and adjudicate fairly. I’m find with sending this guy up the river for a long, long time on attempted murder charges. Why is more needed?

Better ways to get rid of these types of neighbors....certain individuals know how to handle skunks.....slip one into their basement.

Whatever gets him more time is fine with me.

Penalties should be harsher for something like this…and as for the hate crime aspect, what they need to do is apply it equally, even in the case of protected ethnic groups attacking the less protected.
