First all “hate” crimes needs to be repealed. I do not care why someone kills 9 people, they just need to be put down expediently. Let’s stop studying them. Murder is murder, the color of the victim and perpetrator is irrelevant.
But let’s not forget that the knock-out “games” by black on whites, were not hate crimes. Ugh!
I agree. The term “hate crime,” to me, is an oxymoron. PC speech. All crimes are hate crimes as far as I’m concerned.
