Very tragic for this victim. No doubt he bore many emotional scars. However, as the previous poster pointed out, the one perp got life and the other got 60 years without a hate crimes enhancement.
Hate crimes is a tool that will be used against people who do not subscribe to liberal PC think.
How stupid ~ there are criminals who will use any excuse to get the chance to beat people up and carve holes in them, particularly after a night of mixing alcohol, illegal drugs, controlled prescription drugs, and, no doubt, smoking cigarettes, the principal evil of our time.
