Hate Crimes.........

[bored1]

I havnt heard anyone call the murder and rape of Samantha Runnion a hate crime. I cant think of anything more evil and hateful to have happen to a defenseless 5 year old child.

Totally unrelated to your post, more about your topic...


The whole concept of 'hate crimes' is bullshit. Why should crimes based on race be any 'worse' than crimes of the same magnitude NOT based on race? We're allowed to not like a certain race or religion.


Aren't we?

Hate crimes are crimes against certain groups like gays, blacks, jews or other such protected groups under the law.

Children, although precious, do not fall into this catagory.

But they already have their own type of speciality laws for which crimes fall under.

I wasn't challenging the meaning of a hate crime, I just don't agree with the notion period. Tha's all.

I have to agree with Rastapope 100%. The perpetrator in this case was Hispanic anyway, but this whole idea of putting white perps through double jeopardy if their victims happen to be non-white is PC college campus fantasy land bullshit that has no bearing on the real world whatsoever.

This is particularly true because most crime victims -- whatever their race -- are never considered victims of 'hate crime' just because their assailant happened to be of another race. The phrase 'hate crime' only seems to come up with white offenders. Or in the rare, rare cases where someone is on a nut twinge.

But generally, murder is murder. If someone kills you because they don't like your face, or they want your car, or they want your fortune, it's still murder. Murder is infinitely worse than mere bigotry. Murder means you're dead. Fucking Christ, get a clue.
