I’m against the notion of hate crimes, because I agreed with MLK Jr. that people be judged by the content of their character not their skin color [or religion or sexual orientation]. Murder is murder and should be treated harshly regardless because of the assailants character and not because of the victims skin color [or religion or sexual orientation]. Same is true of vandals.
If I were to accept the arguments for the need of the hate crimes label, it would be for crimes like those in Wisconsin that would otherwise be Misdemeanors. Vandalism costs money to clean up, but this vandalism is meant to intimidate. The intimidation suggests assault beyond the vandalism. Alas, this is what progressives consider hate crimes, and thus undermines their arguments and their moral authority.
I agree on the hate crimes thing. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of those who are so fond of them.
My last sentence meant to be a bit more… “Alas, this is what progressives should consider hate crimes, and that they don’t thus undermines their arguments and their moral authority.”
