Would this be covered by Congress’ new hate crime bill? Imagine if the races were reversed, the media would be playing up this story 24/7 calling for support of the bill ala gun control every time a shooting happens.
I don't think so, because the law wasn't in effect at the time the crime was committed. First thing I thought when I saw that law was that we should all "come out of the closet", cuz it throw a major wrench in the works. What they gonna do, prove that you're not what you say you are? Personally, I don't like the idea of "hate crimes", so don't really support feeding that animal, even if it's for one of my "kind".

No doubt. I wonder if the Vegas cops would have thought twice about beating Sgt. England if he wasn't "just" a white guy.
