Yet, I see no insults from those who oppose it. Interesting, why is it that people on the left seem so inclined to stoop to personal attacks? It's a pattern I see a lot on comments sections.

Or rather, I told her lackey that answered the phone, since she doesn't actually speak to the people she represents. <br />Half baked apologies don't sit well with me either.

By having a hate-crime added to the list of offenses , prosecutors have more options to make sure these guys do time. WHen prosecutors bring gang memebers to hjail they usually have a plethora of charges against them. That way, if they get cleared of one charge, chances are they'll do time on another.

Originally, these federal laws were enacted so that the federal government can get involved and prosecute a crime that happens in a jurisdiction where the local law enforcement wouldn't prosecute, i.e. no prosecution for lynching a black man in the deep South. With the exception of Washington DC, which is considered federal territory not part of a state, murder is governed by state law. Federal hate crime laws ensure that killings of a protected class will be prosecuted regardless of whether the local "good 'ol boys" will do it or not.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557995458015362594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36710497.post-65773999870567836432009-05-06T19:36:00.000-04:002009-05-06T19:36:00.000-04:00I guess if I were to kill someone because I was co...I guess if I were to kill someone because I was committing a robbery, that makes it "more OK" than if I kill them because of their race/sexual orientation/sex.
