Just going back to the burka. What if, the only reason Lee is killing black women this week is for color matching purposes and Lee already has 3 complete white skin burka’s in the closet?

Is Lee a hater for his keen fashion sense? Must he be branded a hater for wanting variety in his wardrobe?

I thought that the laws were already changed, just that it’s hard to get wives and men to testify against their attackers, so they aren’t using the new laws that much.

Or am I just watching too much of Law and Order and imagining it?

Anyway, it would certainly be nice if rapists got an extra five years (for any reason really) if he had a type that he went after.

Lee – I know eventually you’ll come around to my way of thinking.:)

So let’s say I’m a real asshole (I know, real stretch right) and I decided I’m going to get really drunk one night (again, way off base I know) and go down to the local bar and beat to death the man that’s been banging my girlfriend while I’m at work with a pool stick cause I hate him soooo much.

OR

I’m a real asshole that hates fags and I get drunk and go down to the bar and beat to death the gay guy that I know.

Same injuries, same cause of death…both cases I left the house intending to kill someone because I hate them

Which of these is a hate crime? Why not both?”

Because in the first scenario, you have only demonstrated yourself to be a danger to guys who bang your girlfriend. In the second, you’ve demonstrated that you’re a danger to any guy who is gay. I.e. he doesn’t have to do anything to you to incur your wrath.

Thankfully the statutes on rape have begun to change to protect wives and men from the humiliation and pain of rape.

First off, only in certain areas will a bias crime get you any additional time or severity in sentencing. Most places still only use it for statistical purposes. Some people just don’t want there to be concrete evidence of the issue.

What makes a bias crime more serious (and in my mind worthy of harsher sentencing) is that it is an attack on more than just the primary victim. It is an act of terror aimed at a segment of society. Burning a cross on a black persons lawn will make people mumble and wonder about white supremacy, who is next, where it this coming from. Generally speaking black people may feel more insecure, feel the need be more vigilant for their safety. Burning a cross on a white person’s lawn will just make people go huh?

Contrary to popular meme, hate crimes don’t give special protection to any group. Everyone has a race, religion (or lack of), sexual orientation. There have been plenty of prosecutions and convictions for hate crimes against white people.

As for rape being a hate crime – that’s kind of already built into the statute. Historically a wife could not be raped by her husband, and a man could not be raped.
