It's thought crime.

It’s institutionalized virtue signaling, and nothing more.

All thought crimes are ridiculous.

Dude deserves death whether hate or not. I don't care his reasoning. I think the left and the right can agree to go ahead and exterminate him. Why waste tax money? I think down the line it will finally be exposed that this was a leftists who was triggered by 4chan and chose suicide by mass shooting to what he thinks is "finally winning a point." Very convenient for mid-terms coming up.

Hate crimes were invented to charge people who didn't commit a crime with a crime.

It is the thought police, using it as an enhancer on a real crime does nothing.

Some people commit crimes because they have been victims their whole lives and it is not their fault when they act out. Other people are born hateful with hateful parents and commit crimes only for that reason.

Two classes of harm arise from crime: harm to the victim and harm to society. The latter harm motivates the additional punishment.

If you kill someone, the harm to the victim is the same regardless of the motivation of the assailant. But the harm to society is arguably greater for a crime motivated by a factor which would likely lead to recurrences.

That is the theory, anyway.
