"Emos" now protected by "hate crime" laws

[greynotsoold]

The thing is, it is supposed to be "equal protection under the law." It is not that way. In my youth, I was involved in a mini race war, just neighborhood stuff. When white guys were assaulted and beaten and called 'punk ass white boys', it was chalked up to 'boys will be boys.' When we retaliated, and the dreaded 'n-word' was used, guys got phone number sentences.
Take a look at the 'Zebra Killings.' Black ex-cons went on a rampage, violently stabbing (and stabbings are REALLY violent) white victims. Nobody got 'hate' crime enhancements. Can you imagine if white convicts did the same thing?
I have been involved in racially motivated assaults, both as target and perpetrator. In the situations I was party to, it was just young men being violent, as young men will, but it wasn't adjudicated that way.
I think that, in some situations, there should really be no rules. You have young men, out portraying themselves in a particular way, let them handle their business. Let 'em fight,even if it is along racial lines. And it will be. How else should you pick teams? Go at it. I don't see the point in initiating violence towards people that are non-violent, merely different. That is cowardice.

Refreshing honesty there.

THANK YOU!

See Titofan, hate crime legislation is full of prejudice and inequality and if the bleeding hearts truly cared about "fairness" then the laws on the books would be justly and equally enforced.
