Wait until they realize that the dhimmis never intended their precious hate-crime BS to apply to them...

What a trash piece of legislation. This only elevates crimes against certain groups above others and is pure discrimination. Soon, it will be used to eviscerate the First Amendment.

Matthew Sheppard was a drug addict.
Matthew Sheppard died because of a drug deal gone bad.
The killers went to prison.
At least one of the murderers was bi-sexual
How can a bi-sexual killing a homosexual, after a drug deal gone bad, be considered a “hate crime”??

Equal treatment before the law ... unless you are a member of a protected group, like Democrats are.
RIP

The damnable consequence of such a law would be to announce that certain groups are more important than others.
This is bad law making.
It’s also stupid.

just wait, all thoughts and opinions contrary to the left and certain “special groups”, will be deemed fighting words and thus a hate crime.

They try the “voice vote” to claim plausible deniability.
B.S. It was a unanimous vote. Any one against it should have asked for a recorded vote.

If this was such a good bill, why wasn't it publicized more; why was it attached to the Defense Appropriation bill (couldn't pass on its own); and why was it sneaked in for a vote in the middle of the night????

“Jewish groups are hailing the Senate’s passage of legislation expanding federal involvement in hate crimes. The Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and B’nai B’rith International have all released statements today praising the vote attaching the hate-crimes bill to the defense authorization bill.”
Any Conservative minded Jews on Free Republic ought to take note with this and not donate or do work with or support any of these organizations.

This is going to be so abused by the protected ones so that they will start calling the police when they overhear someone utter an alledged derogatory comment. It may not come under the Hate Crimes umbrella but nevertheless we will see innocent people forced to get a bank loan to pay a lawyer to defend them and cause them undue stress even if they are found not guilty.
One more chip at free speech.

So-called “hate crime” legislation is nothing more than thought police. Notice, that the ONLY group in America who can be prosecuted for “hate crimes” are white, Christian, heterosexual males. White, Christian, heterosexual males are the only non-protected group in America.

So, it will now be illegal to abort a fetus with Down's syndrome?
Also, the Left can't seem to make up its mind as to whether it wants special "rights" or euthanasia for the disabled.
