Thank you for such a clearly-stated summary of the disagreeable notion of "Hate crime" legislation. To quibble over the motives for murder or violence seems foolish. Some person has had their life taken from them, should that not be horrific enough to warrant punishment, regardless of their sexual preference, taste in music, skin color, or religion?

However, as was stated in an episode of "South Park", "If you're going to hurt someone, you damn well better make sure they're the same color as you are!"
