Nice 1984 reference just finished reading it for like the 5th time. As socialisim expands it’s sense of right and wrong to the masses we will see more focus on thoughts and intents rather than the accual act. So now if a man of one race attacks another man of a diffrent race it can automaticaly be bubbed a hate crime. DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER

Why is no one raising the issue of equal protection under the law in regard to “Hate Crime” legislation?

If someone commits a “hate crime” aren’t they being considered more guilty under the law than a person who isn’t committing a crime of “hate”?

If someone is a victim of a “hate crime” aren’t they being given greater protection under the law than a person who is the victim of a garden variety crime?

A convincing argument can be made that all crimes have an element of hate.

It appears to me that this type of legislation should be considered unconstitutional on its’ face. Does anyone know if any challenges to these laws have reached the Supremes?

Wonder why obama didn’t have thier parents up there with him.

I also agree that the crime should be punished – the thought behind a crime is primarily irrelevant. I guess now that an added dimension to a trial can be added, a lawyer can get someone off, because he might be able to create reasonable doubt that a crime was indeed a hate crime. What if one has to be charged with one or the other? Is it a crime or a hate crime, and if charged with a hate crime, what if one proves it wasn’t hate…maybe just indifference?Is this going to be one more way to let a bad guy out on the streets.

When are we gonna’ pass a “Love Crime” bill. Naw, your honor, I didn’t kill them cause I hated them. I killed them cause I loved ‘em.

Do the math. Hate Crime = Thought Crime.
