1. If he actually said that, he's not a smart lawyer. A Muslim would have an easier time of beating a hate crime rap.

Not necessarily. If they can get him to say he is a Christian, it fits their narrative better. They'd be willing to give him a lesser sentence for the propaganda value of saying it was a "nice Christian boy" who stabbed the poor, innocent gay black man.

Popov’s lawyer refuted the claims, stating that the teenager is a “good Christian boy” —

Well, he got one out of three right. He's male.

The *good* and *Christian* are up for grabs.

“Muslims may have something to say about that.”

I suspect if there is one Muslim on the jury, they will never get a conviction on the hate crime. I would never vote for a hate crime conviction because it is double counting a crime. If you murder someone you either hate them by definition or you can’t prove one murder had a hate component and another didn’t.

I agree that the difference is pointless. If you kill someone for anything other than self defense it would appear to be a hate crime.

Dancing?

Total BS.

The prog “news” media doesn’t mention that the “dancing” was really prancing around in the gas station parking lot with his dick hanging out.

They will not show this either.

Bill Cosby’s son was murdered by a Soviet immigrant, a Russian I think (but maybe a Ukrainian).

Democrat extremest set up the concept of ‘hate crimes’ so they could create ‘thought crimes’ down the road... those are the worst of totalitarian laws in any given hellhole.

It’s time to give these up....

Sny crime against another is an abridgment of that persons rights. To pretend we can dertrmine the ‘feelings’ of the criminal and how strange or deep those ‘feelings’ are is insane. No one can see in the black box.
