You can't help wondering whether these lunatics are put up to this by the left simply to create "victims" and provoke public outrage over "hate crimes" and thereby advance the left's various agenda of "reparations", "affirmative action", "gay marriage", "diversity leadership" and anything else that they can think of to drive wealth transfer and the amoral secularization of society.
That three individuals were badly injured by this man is a tragedy. We should pray for God to heal them in body and soul, that they may come to know Him.
That their injuries will be assuredly exploited by the leftist enemies of a free society is unfortunate indeed.
In Robida's room at his mother's house, police yesterday found homemade posters slurring gays, African-Americans, and Jews; neo-Nazi literature and skinhead paraphernalia; a makeshift coffin; and an empty knife sheath, according to police, prosecutors, and court documents.
But Ted is right on it:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy called the attack a ''sad reminder" of why Congress should pass a bill that would extend the federal law on hate crimes to cover offenses targeting people because of sexual orientation. The current law, which allows federal investigation and prosecution of hate crimes, covers those based on race, religion, and nationality.
I'm not a fan of hate crime legislation for any reason. If someone attacks, whether it's out of greed, jealousy, or hatred, they should be punished. Period.
Yes, their injuries will be exploited in the press. The Globe pants for such tragedies.
