Why do the right struggle with the concept of hate crime ?

[Bob Blaylock]

You continually miss the point in spectacular fashion.

You don't have a point. All you have is the mad delusions of someone who thought Orwell was describing a wonderful utopia in his iconic Nineteen Eighty-Four. You seem to have completely missed Orwell's point.

(1) Government has no business getting into anyone's head. Government should deal with what people DO, not what they think (or worse, FEEL!).

(2) Hate crime laws were instituted to facilitate the odious and unconstitutional phenomenon of DOUBLE JEOPARDY. If any level of government is not satisfied with the disposition of a criminal trial at a lower level, then THE EXACT SAME fact pattern can be used to prosecute a DIFFERENT CRIME.

For example, Derrick whatsisname is acquitted of killing George Floyd in state court. Goes "Scott free." But wait! The U.S. attorney indicts Derrick on CIVIL RIGHTS charges! He deprived Floyd of his right to life, "under color of law" (i.e.,, while functioning as a police officer). NEW TRIAL, NEW OFFENSE, and no "double jeopardy" problem.

It stinks.

Government has no business getting into anyone's head. ALL HATE CRIMES are also crimes under other provisions of the criminal statutes. Hate Crime laws are evil.

You continually miss the point in spectacular fashion.

That is because your point is a fallacy and failure

What do you perceive is the "point"?

They don't struggle with the concept, they just don't care about the concept. Same thing with Affirmative Action...they get it. They just don't care.

Oh, we get it. The concept is biased, just like affirmative action.

200 posts on this thread and our right wing intellectuals still cant grasp a simple fact. You types are as thick as shit. There is no other explanation.

What “simple fact” are we not grasping?

And then you have posters like the above, who care a little *too much* about crime - to the point that black crime is all they talk about.

We call this type of person a bigot.

As are the media who only talk about white crime (such as their overreporting of the Atlanta mass shooting, and their underreporting of the Boulder, CO mass shooting)
