    Pretty easy to figure out actually.

      Is this a real question? What do you think will happen?

        What SHOULD happen is the crime itself, and not its motives, should be the charge, because as I said earlier, to commit those sorts of crimes, there is already "hate" in doing the deed itself.
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          That’s not what I asked. What do you think would happen?

          Or better yet, what do you think we’re going to say? That because you’re white you can’t be the victim of a hate crime?

              I would hope hate crime charges wouldn't be part of it. I don't know what would happen. I don't know what you're going to say, because you haven't said it yet.

                You asked a clearly rhetorical question “What would happen if a minority assaults me because I’m white?”

                Either you really don’t know, which I suppose is valid but seems kind of ridiculous; or you’re asking a leading question because you already have an idea of what you think we’re going to say.

                  I used to think the exact way you do on this topic. It didn't take me very long to figure out I was wrong.

                    That's also a hate crime, numb nuts.

                      Read back to the original post on this discussion. Classy name-calling, though.

                        Nope, at least not as I'm reading it.

                            Why? He answered the question you posed in the quote he referenced. That would be a hate crime.

                            Hate crime legislation presupposes if you target a victim because of their race, religion or sexual orientation (among others?) it massively increases your potential victim pool and suggests you're likely to act upon that hate again. Random crimes often do not. Someone acting criminally based upon this kind of hate is a bigger potential threat to society than someone randomly getting in a bar room brawl.

                            And has already been noted Brent all kinds of crimes have severity levels attached to them - why is this any different or less valid? Please don't respond with platitudes. Actually think before you respond.
