Why are people convicted of terrorism?Why did YOU try to say something I clearly did not say?
I'm pretty sure my English was clear.
No, it is still not clear.
I still do not know whether you believe the same penalty should apply to vandalism whether it is done as an immature prank or whether it is done to terrorize a family because of their color.
Your language here very much sounds as if you do not believe the reason behind the intentional breaking of the window should be taken into consideration:
No harm? For the exact same crime, but for the emotion of the perpetrator, they are punished more?
Thought crimes? How Orwellian.
If the result of the vandalism is the same- why does it matter?
I mean, seriously, what is the difference between terrorism and hate crime?
