reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" right now.
Hate crimes are very valuable tools for socialists.
A crime is a crime. Trying to assign some sort of alternative motive is silly, dangerous, and ultimately foolish.

Eventually "We the people" are going to have to stand up and deal with this problem; before someone like Hitlery comes to power and tries to build a Fourth Reich.
