It's often used when a crime is sexist or racist in nature, or homophobic.
Carson had a much simpler definition.
'Well itâs hard to imagine that you would shoot a bunch of people and not hate them, right?' Carson mused. 'You donât do that to people you love.'
Bye Ben.
The writer is a bit dim.
Stupid phrase.
mooselimbs hates everything so I guess he could be right.

I call it Jihad.
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.

There is truth to this.
What is he, a six year old girl?
Can’t argue with Dr.Carson. It was a hateful crime, indeed.
The bigger issue is why “hate crime” is any more heinous than cold-blooded crime. It’s a ridiculous designation.
Recall W’s comment re: the Byrd murder case in Texas, in which the perps had already been convicted of capital murder when federal hate crime laws were discussed: “What do you want to do, kill them twice?”
I could ask this question on other threads related to this incident. Since the Confederate flag and “Dukes of Hazzard” were considered inappropriate following the Charleston church shooting, what flag or symbol or TV show will now be called out as inappropriate or promotes hatred, etc?
I never liked the liberal designation of a hate crime. If a person is murdered, their life isn’t more valuable because the murderer didn’t like the color of their skin. When Bush was governor and some white guys killed a black guy, reporters were trying to make a big thing out the fact that they weren’t tried for hate crime. He just stated that they received the death penalty, so there was no more justice the victim could’ve received.
Hey Carson supporters , Cruz is over there
Stick a fork in him. He’s done.
"We don't know at this point the extent of their plans. We do not know their motivations"
Ben who?
He’s still stuck on stupid.
It WAS a hate crime..they released the names of one of the victims here, he was Jewish..they have photos of him from his facebook page attending his son’s Bar Mitzvah..I wonder if the Jihadist scum bag knew there were Jews at this meeting
Ben is taking Stupid Lessons from Jeb.
I agree. Islam hates the rest of the world, so......hate crime.
SDA cult member Carson misspoke. He meant to say the terrorist attack was a “hate climate change crime.”
Thought crime categorizations are a Progressive invention.
A man who hates political correctness should know this.
