If applied fairly by Biden’s DOJ, there would be many more blacks than whites arrested under this law. Yes, I said ‘applied fairly by the DOJ’, permission given to fall down laughing.

Lotta black and latino thugs who work together could easily be prosecuted by this.

Its idiotic, we already have conspiracy laws for crimes. Just don’t plea bargain the charges away.

The bill amends the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, passed in 2009, which defines and criminalizes hate crimes. The minimum qualification is an attempt “to cause bodily injury” due to the victim’s race, sexual orientation, nationality, gender, religion, or disability.

Bodily injury can be defined as “physical pain” or “any other injury to the body, no matter how temporary.” Sensibly, the 2009 law requires an attempt at violence to be made, which is a crime itself regardless of prejudiced motives. The new “antilynching” law takes this a step further by criminalizing “conspiracy” to commit certain hate crimes.

White liberal elites finally got their 'thought crimes' bill...

White liberal elites will be the first ones purged, for "white privilege", "microaggression", and "white supremacy".

I’m sure we’ll see hundreds-of-thousands of American patriots out in the streets protesting this new, deeper plunge into communist tyranny...

You're north of the Mason/Dixon, right!? Think of how bad it is in the deep racist south like here in Alabama. We're probably gonna run out of black people soon.

PS, this is nutz!

"Second paragraph."

I asked how many REPUBLICANS voted for it, not how many members of the House voted for it. There aren't 422 Republicans in the House.
