Titofan you're a fan of this list, let's tweak it a bit
  • You kill someone you found in bed with your wife. Let's say the man you found in bed with your wife is of a different race, does that make it a hate crime?
  • You kill someone who cut in front of you on the freeway. Let's say it was a person of a different race, does that make it a hate crime?
  • You kill someone because you had a fight in a bar. Again, let's say it was a person of a different race does that make it a hate crime?
  • You kill someone because he's an emo and you're not. Does that make it a hate crime?


Real life example of the prejudices "hate crimes" legislation can lead to would be the case of Matthew Shepard as opposed to the case of Jesse Dirkhising and also James Byrd's case as opposed to the case of Channon Christian & Christopher Newsome. All the cases listed were absolutely terrible, but only the minorities who were murdered had extra hate crime legislation either added to the books or added on the sentences of their murderers and THAT my friend does little more than create resentment.
