Setting aside hate crime laws, do you think "hate crimes" are of more importance than random, street crime? I think it's a better question than the need for hate crime laws - which are clearly NOT needed IMO.

In theory, I can see why hate-based crimes are more worrisome. But I don't think that's the case in modern America, where hate movements involve only a negligible portion of the population.

No I don't. Do you?

Setting aside the action, do you think crimes should be punished more harshly based on someone else divining the persons motivation for it? Two people commit the exact same crime..but one "thought" differently about it first?
