I guess you don't get it do you?
Most of us disagree with the concept of hate crimes. But if there is to be such a thing, then they must exist in cases where blacks attack whites as well as whites attacking blacks.

I agree. While hate crimes are prima facie absurd, they, just as all other laws, ought to be applied equally to all. What's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander.

Of course I 'get it'. Instead of consigning ourselves to defeat on the PC altar of 'hate crime' terminology I say we fight to eliminate the terminology from our dialect. It's ridiculous really. People should be tried for what they actually *do* when they commit a crime, not for what they may or may not have been thinking when they committed it. We have to stop playing the game of the left.
We also have to do more to get our side out in the media. The fact that this case hasn't gotten nationwide attention is despicable. I say if these guys are for some reason acquitted we send them to Peter jenning's and/or Dan Rather's neighborhood. 'Good huntin' in there boys...have at it...' What's good for the goose is *indeed* good for the gander.
