Remember, its only a "hate" crime when someone who the media is sympathetic to gets killed by someone the media isnt sypathetic to.
Killing white christians is not a hate crime, hardly even a crime at all these days. Blacks kill whites every day. Those hate crimes? Nope. Muslims kill Christians and Jews every day. That a hate crime? Nope. If a white christian kills a black, mexican, muslim or any other non white, its immediately front page news as a massive "HATE CRIME!!!"
Yep, they are classified hate crimes before the evening news comes on. Gotta get that message out.
