DA to push hate crime charges in transgender attack
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 6/23/11 | Andrew Averill, Chronicle Staff Writer

San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón said today he intends to refile felony hate crime charges that a judge dismissed against two men accused of attacking and robbing a transgender woman.

Gascón said San Francisco Superior Court Judge Bruce Chan's decision to order the two defendants to stand trial for civil rights, assault and robbery charges did not go far enough.

The judge ruled the motivation behind the incident was purely to rob the victim, but Gascón said there is a strong enough connection between the comments and assault to warrant a hate crime.

The elderly get targeted(profiled) by thugs all the time. That has to be hate against a certain age group.

Different classes of people get different sorts of justice in California.

Time for an Uprising and Revolution against the purveyors of a class society with formal legal privilege.

Moral of the story: Don’t try to rob a transgendered person in San Francisco.

I hope I live long enough to see the day when ALL crimes in the USA are once again considered hate crimes.

Wonder if hate crime charges will be filed against Supervisor Adam Hill in San Luis Obispo County?

He seems to be filled with venom.

Google Adam Hill Hate Crime

Even if the attackers are minorities and they do it in a McDonald’s it’s no excuse — in San Francisco.
