Gee..ya ####ing think?!?!?!!!
Not a fan of hate crime logic, but surely this human garbage qualifies.
If not, Trump and Sessions would’ve rightly hung those bastards.
“even if police believe the motive here was about the victim’s disability, rather than his race”
How about all of the above
Bet the perps are allowed to plead out to a slap on the wrist....
The question is why isn’t every black-on-white crime considered a hate crime? The comparatively few white-on-black crimes certainly are.
I really don’t care much about the motive. The DA must charge them with kidnapping, and make them see serious jail time, or resign.
As I understand this.... The Hate Crime charge is because the victim is mentally disabled.
Not for being white.
After all, it’s still OK to scream “**** White People”. That’s not a hate crime.
Does president loony tunes know this?
There should be no official category of a “hate crime.” All such a designation does is introduce politics into the process of charging, trying, and punishing, as is clearly happening here. And it’s just another way for the federal government to assert control over situations that should be handled by the individual states.
Conservatives should be unanimous in wanting to get rid of the designation altogether, rather than attempting to get it to also apply to white people at times.
A person should be charged and convicted for what he did, not for what he was thinking when he did it, period. For one thing, a minor infraction, like throwing the bird at someone, could easily be escalated into a hate crime under certain circumstances. Just dump the idea.
Wonder what President-elect Trump thinks of the concept? Has anyone asked him, or hasn’t that occurred to the MSM yet?
Does it really matter what might happen locally? The new DoJ can still pick this up as a Federal civil rights violation and pursue it next month. Bad timing on part of the perps.
Evil torture is a “stupid decision”?
No, it’s a hideous hate crime of the largest magnitude short of killing.
They should never walk free. Ever.
They were dumb enough to film it and show no remorse. Let them rot in prison. I wonder how their fellow inmates treat people who torture people who are mentally challenged?
FOR 2 DAYS! FOR 2 DAYS!! Why can’t anyone in the media report that? He was held hostage, beaten, tortured FOR 2 DAYS! They want the public to think this was a kids prank done for an hour, no, he was tortured, beaten for 2 days straight!
10th year anniversary.
Channon Gail Christian, 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, were from Knoxville, Tennessee. They were kidnapped the evening of January 6, 2007 when Christian’s vehicle was carjacked, and taken to a rental house, where both of them were raped, tortured, and murdered. Five people were arrested and charged in the case. The grand jury indicted four of the suspects on counts of capital murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape, and theft, while a fifth was indicted on federal charges of carjacking
Some days just a little summary Capital Punishment would go a VERY, VERY long way.
Nuke ‘em.
