I'm not sure I buy the hate crime element either. It would seem these were opportunistic evil killers. We will see what comes out in trial. The whole 'hate crime' mantra is just stupid...what exactly would a 'love crime' be? 'Would you rather they was pushed out of windows little girl?' to quote Archie bunker on gun control...Equality before the law *was* one of the foundations of our legal system. The 'hate crime' legislation debunks that. I'm not comfortable with that. If the victims are tortured before death, then prosecute for that too, there's no way to get in the brain of killers to determine *why* they did something. Just get them for everything they *did* do to the victims. *sigh* Wish I were older as I don't like where this country is headed longterm.

I guess you don't get it do you?

Most of us disagree with the concept of hate crimes. But if there is to be such a thing, then they must exist in cases where blacks attack whites as well as whites attacking blacks.

The Hate Crime mantra is political in nature.

Thats why its so dangerous.

Why did Reginald talk to HG about race the way he did?
