An indigenous woman in Calgary, Canada who yelled I hate white people before punching a white woman in the face and knocking her tooth out did not commit a racially motivate hate crime, a provincial court judge has ruled.
Judge Harry Van Hartens written decision in the case argued that the motivation of the perpetrator, Tamara Crowchief, in the attack on the victim, Lydia White, was not related to racial bias.
The judge disagreed with the prosecutors argument that the unprovoked assault, which occurred in November 2015, rose to the level of a hate crime.
Van Harten said there wasnt enough evidence to establish the claim that Crowchief attacked White because of her skin color, despite the fact that the perpetrator, who had never met the victims before the attack, yelled I hate white people before throwing a punch.
There is no evidence either way about what the offender meant or whether
she holds or promotes an ideology which would explain why this assault was aimed at this victim, the judge said. I am not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that this offence was, even in part, motivated by racial bias.

Someone came up to me and punched me, it would be a hate crime by the time I got through with her!!!
Of course it wasn’t a hate crime. The victim was only....ewwwww!...WHITE. I mean, who cares about THOSE people?
Remember kids, minorities cannot be racist! s/
Of course, when these people are gone, the war will probably suddenly stop...since all the agitators will be dead.
Well of course. Everybody knows that these “hate crime” laws apply to crimes by whites against members of officially recognized grievance groups, such as racial/ethnic minorities, and homosexuals. The hate crimes, by definition, can never be committed against a white victim. Doesn’t everyone know that, isn’t it common knowledge???
Isn’t C(CCP)anada the same country that just made their national anthem “gender neutral?”
omg
This shows what will happen when liberalism gets its way and goes whole-hog.
It’s the socio-political analog of Gresham’s Law, except instead of “bad money crowding out the good,” it’s “bad ideas crowding out the good.”
When the government uses its implicit threat of force to impose a set of lies upon the systems of society, over time those lies will crowd out any truth. This is how entropy acts against those who make friends with it.
Satan is entropy, represented in a sentient being.
This is why you have the spectacle of evil making a public show of itself at play. This is why you have the UN naming the most repressive regimes on earth to the UNHCR and other bodies charged with protecting human rights.
This is why you have certain populations in democracies voting not for the best among their number to represent them, but the worst. Over and over again.
This is why you have Hillary and Obama making a performance of their nastiness, of their anti-Americanism. They are attempting to redefine Americanism. They are trying to redefine America, and honor, and morality, and substitute a phony surrogate for each of those things.
This from a white judge.
Whites are becoming as self-hating as the Jews were in Germany .
The person being attacked will send the attacker a nice card saying she’s sorry she was attacked.
Only white people hate.. .Duh!!
The crime is assault and battery. You "hurt" someone.
You are one of those old dinosaurs who still know that hate is a motive, not a crime in and of itself?
Off to the reeducation camp with you.
Therefore...how could that poor defenseless woman of color be guilty of a Hate Crime? She's NOT white!
Bump so I don’t lose this: an unprovoked sudden severe attack (knocking a tooth out) against a white person after saying “I hate white people” is ruled by a judge in Calgary, Canada as not a hate crime.
Morally you are correct, legally you are wrong.
Related: attack in a (gay) nightclub while saying “Allahu ackbar” and with multiple mentions of ISIS that are recorded in 911 calls (after having been known for the past decade at least to make similar comments that were duly reported to the FBI by LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS) is not related to Islam.
It is, rather, the fault of guns, white testosterone, and Christianity.
She’s NOT white!
In one election cycle?
No we know the build up has been happening for decades.
