So these idiots decide to rob a homosexual because he's be "easier to rob".
From the article:
"Court records allege the three selected a homosexual because they believed he would be unlikely to offer resistance. The men, in a deposition, said they didn't beat up the victim because he is homosexual. But they did say that's how they chose him as a victim
The written ruling came from Judge Jill Konviser of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, and concluded prosecutors only need to show that the man, who was beaten and then hit by a vehicle in a robbery attempt, was picked because of his sexual orientation, according to a report in the New York Times."
So basically even the hatecrime Nazis are admitting that hate crime laws don't require hate. In fact hate crime law merely serve to increase the penalty based on the political beliefs of the victim.
So what's next? How about "Democrat crime" legislation that would double the penalties for any crime committed against a liberal democrat?
Yeah, that fits in real well with the 14th amendment which guarantees equal protection under the law doesn't it??
