This woman is a fool. Why didn't she just tell the judge that he reminded her of her old boyfriend that used to beat her all the time. She was suffering from Battered Wifes Syndrome and couldn't help it.
She'd be a free woman today.

The problem I have with hate crime legislation is that eventually it will turn into one being charged for thought crimes such as speech. That's the next step with this.

Agreed. The woman committed assault. That's what she ought to be imprisoned for. Her reasons for committing assault are irrelevant (and who knows what they might have been anyway?)

How drunk was she?Dead sober. That's what put her in such a frightful mood. ;-)
Seriously, this idiot needs to serve time for assault and battery. "Hate crime" only confuses the issue.

One wonders, considering how the veiled women are treated, if this fellow has ANY interest at all in EVER dating an American Non-Muslim woman?

She was SOBER? I've only seen that type of behavior on one of those "Ugly Mean Drunk Drivers" Cops-type shows.

One more terrorist attack in this nation should just about do it.
To: dighton
This alone should've gotten her 2-3 years in the pen without the hate crime element:
misdemeanor hit-and-run, threats to commit crime resulting in death or great bodily injury and battery

Yet more proof that "hate crime" laws aren't needed. She did the crime and she'll do the time, all as it should be.
