You are either in favor of Hate Crime laws or you are against them. I am aganist them.

The people that killed James Byrd deserve their punishment for a horrible murder. The fact that the killers may have been racist made Mr. Byrd no deader than if someone else had killed him.

This woman deserves to be tried for the terrible crime that she committed. She has a severe punishment coming to her. The fact that the victim was White does not make her crime a worse one in my book.

I am not going to join in the Jesse Jackson game of playing "Your Race is Worse than My Race." I resent the politicians and others who pander to Jackson and his fellow race-baiters by favoring "Hate Crime" legislation.

There is no one here that does not agree this horrible crime deserves to be treated as such, you won't get an argument there. But if the laws on the book are not changed to treat all crimes equally on both sides and the labal of "White Hate Crimes" is not changed, people will not change in their resentment of being treated "unequally".

This horrible crime committed by this woman and her friends should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and justice served, but if she recieves special treatment because of her race, there will be no justice. If she is surrounded by the black communities that want to make a victim out of her, there will be no justice for Mr. Biggs murder.

But you are more than intitled to your opinion. I do agree that the word "Hate Crime" should be eliminated from the law books, all crimes are crimes of hate, don't think there was "love" in any of them.
