False reporting should ALSO be a hate crime.
False reporting IS a crime, though one not punished with enough and/or consistent severity.
What should NOT be on the books - AT ALL - is the entire panoply of ‘hate’ escalators.
Go down the road of punishing ‘thoughts’ and the gulag is right around the next bend.
Yep.
False reporting should get DOUBLE the penalties an actual crime would incur.
