Hate Crimes concept is awful, terrible law.
Creating special classes of people as opposed to all being equal under the law.
Problem is if we are all forced to live currently under awful, terrible law, it needs to be applied equally to everyone. The heinousness of not doing so makes it even more unjust. And erodes further trust, what little is left, in the justice system.
