Sorry still see no evidence of prejudice.

One had a white girlfriend. Whites have more money. That is why they chose these people to rob/kill.

Like GW Bush said how can you punnish a person greater than the death penalty. These two will get death. They will burn in hell for their crimes. That is justice.

I do not believe Shepard in Wyoming was a hate crime either. Never saw any evidence it was. Just inuendo. When we convict people on suppositions something is wrong. But one wrong does not make another wrong right.

My leading you to my earlier post was less about "proving" a "hate crime" than it was about bringing you up to speed on the horrific nature of the crime, and the utter disregard for news reporting of the mainstream media.

So, why were they tortured and sexually degraded for three hours if simple robbery is the motive?? The fact that one of the white policemen who arrested Rodney King had a black girlfriend was not sufficient to negate the hate crime/racism charge in that case, why should the reverse be true? Besides, black 'gangtas' like the Carrs see knocking up white girls as a form of 'counting coup' on the 'enemy.' Defiling the enemy's women is a long-standing tactic of genocidal warfare. Ultimately, the most revealing aspect of this case is the total blackout of coverage from the mainstream media. All of the above being said, I still think that "hate crimes" are a terrible idea.
