Hate Crimes

[Phauxtoe]

I am triggered (Haha!)
Deblasio is now blaming Donald Trump for the increase (doubling) in hate crimes in New York City .

1. How do they come up with these blame the victim statements.

2. Crime is a crime
the motivation shouldn't be determined by the Government, They don't know it!

I agree. Never felt the need to label something as a "hate" crime. A scumbag is a scumbag no matter the intent.

 

[capitalcrew]

Agree with you both. A criminal is a criminal. If a white guy shoots a black guy for his wallet or because he's black it doesn't make any difference, the guy is dead and the other killed him. He's a murderer and that's the only relevant fact.

Is it a hate crime to be offended by DiBlasio?

 

[NirvanaFan]

Last I heard, it's not illegal to hate someone. A crime is a crime, the intent behind it is pretty meaningless. I wonder if SCOTUS has ever heard a case about hate crimes.

-nvm, they have. And they upheld that they can be sentenced differently.

Progressives and liberals do a great job of trying to convince minorities they're hated. They like to create problems and prolong them to further their agenda. But what do I know, I'm a gun humping NRA card carrying uneducated white privileged male deplorable hell bent on enslaving one eyed black Jewish women barefoot in the kitchen.

Divide and conquer is their strategy. They love it when race relations are poor. It allows them to better control and direct people. A generation or two ago the worst thing you could call a man probably was either a drunk or a wife beater. Now the worst thing you can call him is a racist and frankly, if you're white, there is no way you can get rid of that label.

Nope. Being a white male has literally become the worst thing you can be, and you don't even have to do anything wrong except get up and go to work.
