I have a very lovely family and I want them included and protected, and I am going to be awfully angry if, God Forbid, one of my loved ones is ever harmed but they don't qualify for "hate crime" protection.

Who are they to devalue the harming of any innocent person over another? Some psycho or just plain evil person harming any citizen is just as much a "hate crime" no matter the villain's motive, the race, or the sexual orientation of the victim.

Well said.
