Yeah I can, where I live a few years back. A queer kept hitting on a straight guy. He left the bar, the queer kept on hitting on him, the guy got tired of it. Hit him once, he fell hit his head on the curb. Killed him. The gay community went ape shit trying to get him tried for murder and a hate crime.
Hitting on someone is not a crime.
Assaulting someone is, and if the assault was based on hate: it's a hate crime.
If the assault resulted in the victim's death, then it's murder.
If a black man hit a white man once, and that white man died as a result, intentional or not, you'd want him charged with murder and a hate crime, too.
And I'd agree.
