The proposed laws would punish “hate crimes” more severely than similar actions because the proponents of these laws believe the hate and fear motivating such crimes is never, ever justified.


So some hate is okay while other hate is not? Who decides?
Under what circumstances? Punishing thought is much more dangerous to our society as a whole than many of the acts being referred to.

I agree. Those promoting these laws do not.
