Can the racist prove this was a hate crime? Because according to the logic displayed here, the sheer number and ethnicity of the teens means it was a hate crime.....
Six white teens beat up a black teen... chances they'd call that a hate crime are 100 percent.
"Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation."
It also adds:
"Hate itself is not a crimeand the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties."
Reference: FBI — Overview
6 white kids beating up 1 black kid is not defined as a hate crime unless there can be a definitive element that the motivation of the assault was in part due to the victim's race. Similarly, in this situation, it appears that the assault by these teens was due to the fact that the victim had a mental disorder.
Try again racist!
