It's a stupid, irrational law.
Example:
Thug beats up some guy gets 2 years in prison
Thug beats up some gay guy gets 2 years + whatever for a 'hate' crime.
Is either victim less beaten up? No.
Is either victims 'special'? No.
The law is ridiculous and panders to 'special interest' groups. I disapprove of any pandering to any group.
If the straight white male is killed for no other reason than he is a straight white man that is a hate crime. It's amazing to me that people who consider themselves free of bias, have a problem with hate crime law.
But, he gets no special consideration, because he is a straight white male.
Only special people are entitled to special treatment.
Also, I have a problem whenever arrogant people think that they have more rights than everyone else.

You have a problem with me, Immie, because I am passionately committed to seeing hate crime prosecuted.
You don't understand the historical context. Do you know it was once LEGAL to rape black women?
Man only wants to abuse children, hate crime?
Has hate crime legistlation detered any crime? Probably not. Its just legislation to court to certain groups so that legislators can say "see we are doing something".
If you have no idea why it is relevant that it was once LEGAL to rape black women I can't help you. Truth is, police used to turn their heads when gay men were targeted by hate crime.But, he gets no special consideration, because he is a straight white male.

I have no problem with you.
I disagree with your point of view and I am discussing it with you.
The last time I checked this was a political chat board and I have always come here to speak my mind and to learn from others.
Nope, no problem here.
Does the fact that it was once legal to rape back women have anything to do with this discussion? How about the fact that it was once legal to hold black people as slaves?

Another caring individual with no bias.
Two white teenagers in Mississippi are looking for a black man to assault. They run over James Anderson, he later dies in the hospital.
This is a hate crime.
blacks commit violent crimes against whites at 80 times the rate that whites commit violent crimes against blacks...where is the outcry!!!The topic came up on another thread. Some people are opposed to there being a special category for bias motivated crimes.
I support hate crime legislation. What are your views?

Equality is what is important, not special victims.
I actually think that the 'hate crime' laws sends the wrong message to the country. It singles out people for special treatment - and that can cause resentment from others. Personally, I think it is ridiculous to single people out for special treatment.

And much like Affirmative Action it may actually breed more hatred simply because it exists and the special favors under the law that hate crime laws are perceived to be granting.
