How is this not a hate crime?

How is this not a hate crime?

That would depend on the laws of the jurisdiction, the circumstances of the crime, and the sentencing guidelines afforded a judge should the defendant be found guilty.


The Supreme Court has held that judges have considerable latitude with regard to enhanced sentencing when race, religion, or national origin are factored into what motivated a defendant to commit a crime, independent of the original charges.


That one wasn't charged with a 'hate crime' doesn't mean his punishment won't reflect the fact that the race of the victim was part of the motive.


The OP should consider researching an issue first before seeking to contrive a controversy where none likely exists solely to advance an errant, subjective, and partisan rightwing agenda.


Last, the notion that whites are not afforded protections with regard to hate crimes and enhanced sentencing is ignorant rightwing nonsense.

What a surprise that you would step in to defend institutional hypocrisy and black racism.

The indoctrination is strong in him. He has to repeat what he's been told.

The next to the last 3 words in his post (ignorant rightwing nonsense) exposes him for the partisan agitator he is.
If he thought he could find a way to create an insult about the "rightwing" he'd swap sides just to do it.

Not even worth engaging.

Anyone who thinks the the Supreme Court is infallible is automatically a moron.

Correct.
At this point all three branches of gvt have become so corrupt that they are beyond redemption.

america has reached it's evolutionary dead end. People like jones illustrate that perfectly.

Time to start over.

Exactly. That's why I support secession. That's the only way we are going to get out from under this decaying Leviathan.
 
Some black youths beat this guy while yelling racial slurs against the 'white boy.' One of the suspects was caught and faces several charges, though police didn't consider it a hate crime. This is one of several incidents where minorities attacked white people while yelling racial slurs and no hate crime charges have been filed.

Can we at least be fair when charging people with crimes? Attacking a person simply because of their color is a hate crime and no race should be excluded. Either eliminate the hate crimes altogether or apply them equally to all.

The investigation is not finished and the prosecutor hasn't made a determination of what crimes the assailants will be charged with.

Go back to bed, Grandma.

When it's white on black crime, the media and talking heads immediately start accusing the perpetrator of being a racist and cry hate crime! When it's the other way around, even the police are afraid to use the term.

This is an unmistakable mindset that is present in both the media, the administration and now law enforcement. It's become politically incorrect to call it like you see it.

Even though it's still under investigation, the police are not charging the attackers with a hate crime. They don't even want it mentioned in the media.

In the Ferguson shooting, the media and many on the left merely needed the words of one friend of Brown's to go with a whole story. In cases where minorities are the aggressors, they do their best to minimize the seriousness of the crime.

It's more about the mindset and the way the left approaches this. It's seriously twisted.

Look at the actual coverage of incidents and note the stark difference. That is the real issue here. Media is trying to shape public opinion by exaggerating one incident while minimizing another. It's working on most liberals because they defend whatever the narrative from the left is at any given time.

[PARITY] As does the right with Fox and Republican mouthpieces. [/PARITY]

I listen to as many sources as possible. And I don't defend anyone on the right that does something stupid.

And there are lefties that do the same. But we're not referring to outliers now, are we?
 
Pretty obvious on why it wasn't listed as a hate crime. If it had been reversed and those kids called him a n!gger, then it would be classified as a hate crime.
 
If it isn't determined to be a hate crime given the facts presented it wouldn't suprise me a bit.

The times they are a changin'...

First World Trade Center bombing. Committed by followers of radical Islam. Deemed a terrorist attack.

9/11 WTC, Pentagon, Shanksville, PA. Committed by followers of radical Islam. Deemed terrorist attacks.

Fort Hood massacre. Committed by a follower of radical Islam. Deemed an act of domestic violence.

Seems no one's got the stomach any more to call them as they see 'em.

I believe that hate crime should definitely be charged and the DA should provide evidence to prove the charge. Pardon me if I am a little sceptical of your source's assertion that no hate crime charge will be made along with the other charges.
