The Colorado Springs shooting suspect’s gender identity will not stop the authorities from bringing in hate crime charges against them, legal experts claim.
… The suspect’s gender identity is “not relevant," Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers and a former federal prosecutor, told Insider. "Obviously the defense will want to get it in, but it’s not a defense."
"It’s certainly something that the defense would try to use, but it’s not in and of itself a bar from hate crime charges depending on what the other evidence is," Brian Levin, professor of criminal justice at California State University, San Bernardino, was quoted as saying by the Insider.
"The notion that because someone might belong to a group does not mean that some ... dispute revolving around that group membership or issue would negate hate crime charges," he added.
Meanwhile, the court has ordered that the suspect be held in custody without bail.

It’s mandatory in order to be in the LGBTLMNOP that you hate yourself most of all.
Too bad Colorado ditched the death penalty. I say execute the perp immediately.
You mean that trial that, almost, no one heard of because it wasn’t mentioned by the msm?
That trial?
The whole hate crime is such BS. The crime is the crime what you were thinking should have no relevance.
Feds probably have higher conviction rates than any other level of government, given last I heard it is 90+%.
Wait, what trial?!
Lemme see now...haven’t seen/heard anything on CNN/ABC/NBC/SeeBS/LGBTQIAA++...must not exist
Yep
You’re right.
People would have to prove in court that they loved the dead victim or their ethnic or racial group. Or “I was indifferent to the guy before I shot him.” If they don’t “hate” the victim then they have a funny way of showing their affection.
He's a drug addict who was featured on a 2009 episode of "Intervention" where he clamed to shoot meth and masturbate for 10-12 hours a day while his wife didn't know what to do about it.
He was also on an episode of "Divorce Court" where he divorced Aldrich's mother.
His IMDB page under Dick Delaware lists a whopping 326 porn films to his credit between 2003-2016. He was married for much of this time.
Yeah, "conservative Republican values" caused this.
By this logic, drive-by-es in Chicago are hate crimes, because Gang A “hates those f@#$ n@#$s” in Gang B, so shoots them, plus any bystanders who happen to be around, or family members of Gang B, too. It’s not about turf or business disputes, or vendettas or personal matters, but if the victims happen to be black, the perps’ black-ness does not save them from “hate crime” classification. It’s the identity of the victim that makes it a “hate crime”. This grows curiouser and curiouser.

It’s a “new type of hate” doncha know.
