Teen charged in NJ Walmart racial comment case

[SpidermanTuba]

Fail.

I was responding to you're claim that they were intimidated, not offended.

You sound like you're picking crap out of your pussy.

Actually, I'm stepping over the crap spewing out of your imbecilic mind.

But by all means, continue to use the terms offended and intimidated as if they're interchangable. It make you look wicked smaht!

Stop being a nerd.

A law-enforcement source said that the teen was a white student at Buena Regional High School, in Buena Vista Township, Atlantic County. He was arrested and charged with harassment and bias intimidation before being released to his parents.

Okay, I sit corrected <again>. shoot....I was betting on him being black.

Wow.. really? This is America, you're allowed to be a racist, we don't arrest people for being racists. Gee, look at all the anti-Semites in the current administration!!! That seems ok to some.

What of the many country clubs frequented by Cons who don't allow Jews to join? Cons are pro Israel, not pro Jew.

Why?

The only one that should be allowed to press charges in this incident is Wal-Mart...

I agree! State government should never be allowed to enforce the law for things that happen on Wal-Mart's property. Its just not right. States just don't have the right to enforce their laws, I agree with you. Certainly, if I'm on Wal Marts property, and commit the crime of intimidation and/or harassment against another customer, the state has no right to enforce that law without Wal Marts permission

Because obviously a small prank constitutes harassment and people don't have free speech on private property. If you honestly don't think these charges are overblown something is wrong with you.

Apparently NJ is progressive enough to understand that not all intimidation is based on race.

I'm sorry you don't trust the New Jersey authorities to enforce their own laws to your satisfaction.

There's no such charge as "racial intimidation" in New Jersey.

And I'm sorry you'll blindingly listen to authority when they ultimately water down the nature of serious crimes by giving them to trivial pranks like this.

2C:16-1. Bias Intimidation.

a.Bias Intimidation. A person is guilty of the crime of bias intimidation if he commits, attempts to commit, conspires with another to commit, or threatens the immediate commission of an offense specified in chapters 11 through 18 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes; N.J.S.2C:33-4; N.J.S.2C:39-3; N.J.S.2C:39-4 or N.J.S.2C:39-5,

(1)with a purpose to intimidate an individual or group of individuals because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity; or

(2)knowing that the conduct constituting the offense would cause an individual or group of individuals to be intimidated because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity; or

(3)under circumstances that caused any victim of the underlying offense to be intimidated and the victim, considering the manner in which the offense was committed, reasonably believed either that (a) the offense was committed with a purpose to intimidate the victim or any person or entity in whose welfare the victim is interested because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity, or (b) the victim or the victim's property was selected to be the target of the offense because of the victim's race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity.

b.Permissive inference concerning selection of targeted person or property. Proof that the target of the underlying offense was selected by the defendant, or by another acting in concert with the defendant, because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity shall give rise to a permissive inference by the trier of fact that the defendant acted with a purpose to intimidate an individual or group of individuals because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity.

c.Grading. Bias intimidation is a crime of the fourth degree if the underlying offense referred to in subsection a. is a disorderly persons offense or petty disorderly persons offense. Otherwise, bias intimidation is a crime one degree higher than the most serious underlying crime referred to in subsection a., except that where the underlying crime is a crime of the first degree, bias intimidation is a first-degree crime and the defendant upon conviction thereof may, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:43-6, be sentenced to an ordinary term of imprisonment between 15 years and 30 years, with a presumptive term of 20 years.

d.Gender exemption in sexual offense prosecutions. It shall not be a violation of subsection a. if the underlying criminal offense is a violation of chapter 14 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes and the circumstance specified in paragraph (1), (2) or (3) of subsection a. of this section is based solely upon the gender of the victim.

e.Merger. Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:1-8 or any other provision of law, a conviction for bias intimidation shall not merge with a conviction of any of the underlying offenses referred to in subsection a. of this section, nor shall any conviction for such underlying offense merge with a conviction for bias intimidation. The court shall impose separate sentences upon a conviction for bias intimidation and a conviction of any underlying offense.

f.Additional Penalties. In addition to any fine imposed pursuant to N.J.S.2C:43-3 or any term of imprisonment imposed pursuant to N.J.S.2C:43-6, a court may order a person convicted of bias intimidation to one or more of the following:

(1)complete a class or program on sensitivity to diverse communities, or other similar training in the area of civil rights;

(2)complete a counseling program intended to reduce the tendency toward violent and antisocial behavior; and

(3)make payments or other compensation to a community-based program or local agency that provides services to victims of bias intimidation.

g.As used in this section "gender identity or expression" means having or being perceived as having a gender related identity or expression whether or not stereotypically associated with a person's assigned sex at birth.

h.It shall not be a defense to a prosecution for a crime under this section that the defendant was mistaken as to the race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity of the victim.

L.2001, c.443, s.1; amended 2007, c.303, s.1.
