"...simply make any crime committed by a member of one race against a member of another race a hate-crime."
Why would anyone who isn't a dyed-in-the-wool, inveterate 'racist' oppose this idea?
Clearly, the offense involves two races....
...no denying that.
Don't you want to prevent racist attacks???
You do, don't you?
Or....
...you could be a closet racist.
Heck....don't you want to hold both races equally culpable?
Maybe you are a racist....
why is it worse if someone kills you because he doesn't like your skin color than if he kills you to steal your money? either way you are dead and he is a murderer.
why does it matter what was in his mind when he killed you?
Do you really believe that you can legislate thought?
Are you suggesting that I support what Liberals call 'hate crimes'?
On the contrary.
In fact, the post which you've quoted suggests the more reasonable alternative to same.
I provided the idea so that our friend Sloth can explain his resistence to the plan.
sorry I misread your post. Yes, rather than hate crimes we should double the penalty when the crime is committed by one race on another race.
Problem is that we need to define what is a race-------hispanic ? asian ? jewish ? half breed ?
how about using the same system for political views?
the whole "hate crime" idea is just liberal lunacy and a poorly veiled attempt at thought control
