Can someone explain "Hate Crimes" to me.
I really cannot understand the need to favor homosexuals in the law when they are assaulted. Is this the case? Is there more to it?
Does this legislation basically say that you get in more trouble if you attack a gay person instead of a straight person? What's the point? |

B. It's basically legally codifying thought crimes. C. The point is to make simple people, prone to emotion-based decision making, feel better about fooling themselves into thinking they are pursuing justice. Lefties cling to it like Righties cling to the death penalty. |

It's easy to understand...
If a white guy commits a crime againts anyone its a hate crime... If person that is not white commits a crime its not.

It's a means for Liberals to extend the power and scope of the Federal Government, and as a two-fer, appease their special interests.

Yes- there is more to it . Repubs do hate to be denied their Godgiven right to commit hate-crimes ( especially against gays who they are so afraid they really are). It is almost as wonderful as not having to pay taxes.

It's a lefty self-esteem stick. If anyone says anything they don't like about them, they bash the speaker over the head with it.

Nah... nothing surprises me with Knute anymore. Sometimes I read his posts just to see what silly shit he is saying next. It's like comic relief for this site.

It's the extra punishment you get when you don't think in the "right" way... as defined by the loopy PC left. You see... you are not allowed to hate in this country... or at the very least not talk about it. Unless you hate George Bush... then all is okay. |

Re: Can someone explain "Hate Crimes" to me.
Hate crimes do not make it illegal to commit violent crimes which are already illegal. They just add extra punishment for the thought component (thoughtcrime).

Re: Can someone explain "Hate Crimes" to me.
A "hate crime" is a crime motivated by the victims perceived membership in a group not simply profit or batshit-craziness on the part of the criminal.
