“Is a death threat considered a hate crime? If so why didn’t they arrest that radical SOB?”
I sent an inquiry to the DOJ that same day, asking essentially that very question. TO THIS DAY, the only thing I have to show for it is the following system-generated response:
“Thank you for contacting the Department of Justice. This is an automatic acknowledgement that your e-mail was received. It will be reviewed in the order it was received.”
In other words, “Blah, blah, blah. We’re too busy with all of the other stuff on our collective plate. You know, things like putting hard-working Border Patrol Agents behind bars for doing their jobs, improperly firing Federal Prosecutors who fail to tow the party line, etc. We’re dealing with a lot of sh|t. Blah, blah, blah.”
Come to think of it, I might actually have gotten something else out of this inquiry after all, as DOJ has probably opened an investigative file on me for being a rabble rouser.

You’ll most probably have lots of company, including me! I see it as: law abiding people bad; criminals, terrorists and illegals, good. Keep up the good work, though.

You might add to your inquiry:
If the issuer of the threat had been a white “skinhead” would the DOJ have acted with more alacrity?
I’ll bet you would get a real open, honest, above-board non-lawyerly answer. (smirk)
