I understand how they may be different, but are they also somehow worse than crimes committed for other motives? Not to the victims, I bet. Also, I think it would be difficult, at best, to truly determine that someone was motivated only by hate. I also find it odd that we seem to only consider something as a hate crime if it affects or is caused by someone in a minority. Can't an old white man like me hate another old white man and, perhaps, assault him, rob him, or vandalize his house? Is that not a hate crime?

It takes courage as an elected official to identify and present an undercurrent of ugliness that exists in our community. However, behavior like this needs to be exposed so that it can be addressed.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />MikeCecilia Burdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243134335663302688noreply@blogger.com
