Punching a White Woman After Yelling ‘I Hate White People’ Not a Hate Crime, Judge Rules
HeatStreet ^ | 7/6/2016 | Andrew Stiles

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 Harten’s 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 prosecutor’s argument that the unprovoked assault, which occurred in November 2015, rose to the level of a hate crime.

Van Harten said there wasn’t 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.”

Double standards are the fundamental bedrock principle of leftism.

Actually, a plethora of standards... none of which quite find a basis in which to rhyme.

This is exactly “liberalism”. Hitler thought he had a good end in mind, too. For certain people, and damn the rest.

Hitler’s good end wasn’t even a good end. He worshiped power for its own sake. I am talking about things that the bible itself would vouch for as primary virtues.

If you can't get justice in the courts, it will come another way. It seems the judicial system is failing.

“Liberals” worship power. It is a fundamental mistake to assign good intentions to them. Their leaders and intellectuals want power. Their poor and stupid followers want your wealth, and the power to seize it.

And what about the non-leaders, non-stupid, non-poor? They want to feel good about themselves, but not at their own expense. Not all liberals are stupid, but all are either evil, or are fools.

“Remember kids, minorities cannot be racist! s”

I remember Larry King stating that....Blacks can’t be racist.
I swear, the great “delusion that the LORD is sending” has to the the stupid things that are coming from ALL OVER. The government, courts, etc., it all seems to be endless.

if a white person attacked an Indian or any other non-white...

Heck, if a white person looked cross-eyed at an Indian or any other non-white, it would be a hate crime.

That’s right; the double standard is just one front on a war to take everything from whites and give it to “others”...

Hi, I’m Whitey, the racial pinata. Pull my string for politically correct apologies.

I’m seriously tired of being under the microscope.

Many whites, particularly in the North, have for many years now ratified every liberal put on their ballot.

Yet is so many ways, all of this is the fault of primarily northern whites.
