"Emos" now protected by "hate crime" laws

[0james0]

Everyone is supposed to enjoy equal protection under the law. These kind of laws protect different classes of people more so than others.

I'm pretty sure everyone still has the same protection under the law. It is the punishment for the criminals that is different, as opposed to the protection people receive.

Is an emo's life worth a harsher punishment than a non-emo? The differences in punishment mean inequality... do you not see that? Why emos why not chavs? Everyone hates chavs, should their group not be protected?

Do you have Chav's in the US? I had assumed it was a UK thing, track suit wearing, toothless wasters.

Basically you cannot say anything mean about anyone. You can think what you like, but if you say it outloud then you offend someone. That then makes you racist, gayist, gingerist, chavist, heightist and so on. Some people are just wankers, always will be. If that wasn't a taboo and likely to be offensive, they would just say something else offensive. There should be a law against cunts, a panel decides and if you are generally a cunt to people, you'll get dealt with.

Killing someone on purpose is murder, full stop. Doesn't really matter if you did it because what they look like or if it was because you had a dodgy Big Mac for lunch. Either way, it's a cuntish thing to do, no better or worse than each other.
