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??

By legal definition that's a hate crime.

It's in regard to the choosing of a victim.

These guys did the crime. They aren't civil rights workers or even

protesters.

They deserve what they get.

They deserve to be punished for ASSAULTING someone.

They do not deserved to be punished MORE because of the sexual preference of the victim or because they picked what they thought was an easy mark. If they had assaulted an old lady solely because she was a weak person they would not be facing FIFTY PERCENT more prison time.

Let's punish CRIME not thought shall we.
