Why hate crime laws are a joke!

[Diuretic]

ok, and? The fact is every crime involves some degree of hate. To punish someone simply because they dont like a particular group, how is that justice?
Instead, charge for the crime itself.

Hello...down here, yes, me....if anyone is interested in an alternative view of hate crime legislation, which came to after initially being implacably opposed to the idea, I'd be delighted to exchange views.
