Lynching is now a "Hate Crime"

[George K]

Well, that clears things up.

If a white guy lynches another white guy (that's the definition of "lynching" last time I looked), is that a "hate crime?"

Is murder a hate crime?

I'm so confused.

Someone please explain this to me.

[Catseye3]

All crimes resulting in a victim are hate crimes.

Therefore, with few exceptions, all crime is by definition hate crime.

[Catseye3]

Meaning there's no such thing has crime differentiated as 'hate' crime.

This is a ridiculous waste of time and money

But slavery!

Oh, that's right I almost forgot, we must have justice

I believe this is a law that might have made some sense when it was first written and rejected 100 years ago.

The world has changed, but there is no need for extra laws against murder

Window dressing for the midterms. No one wanted to vote against it.

Okay...What's the definition of a "love crime"?

[Aqua's Sister]

Ahem...

Makes sense to me
