Maybe he is white and *identified* with blacks....no one in the MSM will fault him for that.

[I use the term *he*, but maybe it’s a *she* self-identifying as a he.]

That’s fine with me. Tragic that these people didn’t have someone prepared for trouble at this meeting who could have dealt with this @$$h01e.

It will be something if the perp turns out to be a light skinned Negro wearing a wig.

Sharpton would skee-daddle back to New York as fast as his little BGI feet could carry him.

Hard to imagine your regular mass shooter type was involved in this.

How so? Mass shooters right regularly seek glory and fame. Even the suicidal ones will go on and on in their diaries or whatever about how their name will be in lights and fill people with fear for decades, et cetera. Plenty of mass shooters have deliberately left survivors; the Columbine duo left a boatload of them.

Interesting, on Charleston, DC "letterhead," with instructions to call the FBI.

What makes this a federal case?

I agree with your assessment;. no wounded = professional ‘hit’ (could be anything from other-country-sponsored to hitman/hired gun)

Home • About Us • What We Investigate • Civil Rights • Hate Crimes • Overview

Hate Crime—Overview

Investigating hate crime is the number one priority of our Civil Rights Program. Why? Not only because hate crime has a devastating impact on families and communities, but also because groups that preach hatred and intolerance plant the seeds of terrorism here in our country.

Defining a Hate Crime

A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, Congress has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.” Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.

FBI Jurisdiction

A hate crime is not a distinct federal offense. However, the federal government can and does investigate and prosecute crimes of bias as civil rights violations, which do fall under its jurisdiction. These efforts serve as a backstop for state and local authorities, which handle the vast majority of hate crime cases. A 1994 federal law also increased penalties for offenses proven to be hate crimes.

In 2009, the passage of a new law—the first significant expansion of federal criminal civil rights law since the mid-1990s—gave the federal government the authority to prosecute violent hate crimes, including violence and attempted violence directed at the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community, to the fullest extent of its jurisdiction. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act also provides funding and technical assistance to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to help them to more effectively investigate, prosecute, and prevent hate crimes.
