How is beating the shit out of a black man because he's black worse than beating the shit out of a man with glasses because you hate glasses?
Beating the shit out of any person because of their race, creed, color etc. is actionable, this does not just pertain to Black people. There has been a history in the US of discriminating again people because of the aforementioned. If people who wore glasses were discriminated against in the US in the same manner then that action would be viewed in the same manner as previously discussed.

Connery it is the etc... that troubles me. Which subsets of society get to be covered or included under the "hate crime" laws? Who decides? During the commission of a felony it is not always clear as to why someone assaulted another and I despise anything getting close to thought police.
That is why jumping to a conclusion is never a good idea and these incidents must be investigated. I do not want an expansion of the law to include the homeless or any other "social" problem of this nature.
