YES! it is worse than, it is terrorism! It targets a whole race at once not just the immediate victim.
Imagine if women were hung from trees just to keep them "in their place" barefoot, pregnant and subservient to their husband masters.
Imagine if everytime some uppity woman strayed from her second class role that she was made an example for the rest of her sex that she needs to stay in line, OR ELSE.
bullshit.....MURDER is MURDER.....and those who purposely do it....no matter what the reason....should get the ULTIMATE SENTANCE POSSIBLE ....which to me is DEATH.....to others its Life in Prison....which is ok....as long as the perpetrator SPENDS THE REST OF THEIR LIFE IN PRISON....with no parole....
