I reject your premise. Hate is an emotion. And since mind reading is impossible, an emotional state cannot possibly be proven

They’re not even Aryans?!? I swear, even our whyte supremists aren’t pure anymore. Seems like a setup honestly. Since when have you heard people in modern times thinking of burning a cross to intimidate a black neighbor? Especially these dildos.

But they probably vote for politicians who want to take away their rights to defend themselves.

Burning a cross purely to intimidate your neighbors is a hate crime.



How do you prove their intent? What if someone decided that sneezing near a black person was intimidation and amounted to a hate crime? This is unjust.

What if we say burning federal courthouses is a hate crime against white people? Who decides what is and isn't?

Didn't read the article, did you?

Butler also shared the Black couple’s address on Facebook, and posted that he was “summoning the devil’s army” and “about to make them pay,” the report said. According to an arrest warrant, Hartnett also threatened to hurt the couple


I'm pretty sure anyone can put two and two together and realize that someone burning a cross in the direction of black neighbors would constitute as a very specific type of hate crime.

Actually no. They’re unconstitutional fictions.

But terroristic threats are not protected speech.

ou mean thought crime. I don’t necessarily agree with burning a cross, but where’s the crime.


The verbal and written threats attached to it are no issue for you?

Not going to defend this white trash. They can get what’s coming to them for all I care. That’s just dumb.

Why is “black” spelled “Black” and “white” is not spelled “White”? Oh, wait…

I heard they tried to accuse the neighbors of miscegenation but got in a fight with spellcheck.
