Hate Crimes...

[Glock Glockler]

A hate crime doesnt just effect the victim, it instills fear and uncertainty in large groups of people. That's why the they deserve to be punished more harshly

Sorry to break it to you but your emotional reaction due to something is your own responsibility. If you feel unsafe maybe you should do productive things like:

- Get CCW issue in your area
- Reform the criminal justice system so that violent criminals actually serve hard time instead of being let out with a slap on the wrist.
- reform the education system so that economic opportunity is expanded
- and other significant and unsexy things that will actually make a difference lowering the amount of violent crime instead of feel-good nonsense that leaves the door wide open for selective enforcement

Part of the reason that this post is 4 pages long is indeed that some people don't understand how "hate" crimes work. A crime is a crime. Intent has nothing to do with it.

You're telling me intent has nothing to do with how crimes are prosecuted and punished?

How about motive instead of intent?

Blacks are overwhelmingly the perpetrators, not the victims, in inter-racial crimes. Check it out. It's a fact.

It's a fact that every statistic supports. But if you don't pretend that it's not so, you are a racist.

Racist! Racist! Racist!

Oh, and the fact that prison demographics reflect this is also clear evidence of RACISM!

You left out xenophobe, ArmedBear. You'll never get your sniveling badge until you remember that you're not socially tacticool until you can effectively combine racist and xenophobe when describing someone who's opinion you disagree with as it concerns race and immigration issues.

I hope you're not refferring to me because I never said anything of the sort.

Ill personally paypal you 20 bucks if you can go back in the thread and show me where I posted that.

Speaking for myself, ss, it's just your general 'tude. Seems like whenever something concerning race or immigration pops up, you're right there talking about "old white guys" or something to that effect. If you're lookin' like one, walkin' like one and quackin' like one, and you are, ya gotta wonder.
Any new fabrications you care to throw out to support your arguments? Any pieced together quotes?

And so, dear friends, with a little Ernest Tubb in the background with "Driftwood on the River", another thread drifts into the darkness of night...
