As far as the murder of Channon and Christopher, I guess getting burned alive or gang raped doesn’t meet the criteria for “torture”. I read about a parliament member in Britain who was driven from his seat because he pursued justice for a white kid who was burned alive by a Muslim. It’s definitely a double-standard. I still feel sorry for the girl, though.

So do I and what happened to her definitely is a hate crime, but so was the other. Another example is the Matthew Shepard case with its massive publicity as contrasted with the torture death of Jesse Dirkhising at about the same time.

Jesse Dirkhising

Only protected groups can be victims of hate crimes in the view of the media and apparently most prosecutors.
