So, let me get this straight .....

Two identical males get the crap beat out of them.

It’s worse if one’s a homo?

I’m so confused. Diversity, equality, which is it?

About twenty years ago, some guys threw a beer bottle at me while yelling “skinny” at me.

Why isn’t that a hate crime? I mean, doesn’t it send a message to all skinny people?

Well, yes. apparently so.

One is a "hate crime" and the other just a little fun "beat down". You know. Just playin'.

Guess which one is which?

Hate Crime

That term has annoyed me ever since I first heard it quite a while back. IMO it's ridiculous. Crime is crime and I've yet to hear of a "Love Crime".

I lived in North Yorkers at the time It was very safe up until my neighbor butchered his whole family and then killed himself. Other wise it was safe growing up.

I’m in a couple of bands. I am up after 12 often. It’s a jungle out there and I act like it.
