I have mixed-feelings about the “Hate Crime” charge. It’s a Crime, period. And they deserve to be harshly punished for it.
TORTURE! That white kid thought he was going to die.
Oh I agree. Hate crime charges or a law against “hate” is unnecessary. BUT, if the laws are around now then this qualifies for it more than anything else. Eventually we need to get ride of this idea of ‘hate crime’.
Hate crimes carry stiffer sentences.
There’s a whole bunch of real crimes they need to be convicted of. Forget the “Hate Crimes.”
