DISCUSS http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=3943 this would make it so that not only the action of the crime is punished but also the thoughts and reasons being punishable if this is expanded. this is against freedom of speech in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastZeetec302 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 the word hate crime is so fucked. just saw a video maybe last week of 2 black students beating the fuck out of a white kid who moved a bookbag on a bus to sit. that wasnt a hate crime, but if white kids fucked up a black kid rev al is everywhere trying to ruin lives.

russell jones Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 this would make it so that not only the action of the crime is punished but also the thoughts and reasons being punishable if this is expanded. It's called motive, and it has always been used to determine the nature and severity of the charge in the United States. You kill someone for money, it's called murder, and you are punished more severely, you kill your spouse in a fight, it's called manslaughter and you get a lighter sentence, because it's a crime of passion. That being said, hate crime statutes are counterproductive, since they introduce an additional fact to be proved to make the case. The purpose a a hate crime law is purely symbolic and ultimately useless way to persecute criminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
