why should hate crime legislation be passed? what good will it do? just take away the rights of the majority of americans, to protect the radicallist agendas of the civil rights groups? besides, does the motive really have more importance than the crime it's self?
And how do you prove hatred? I watched on The Coral Ridge Hour a man who was a former homosexual tell the story of how he was punished by law for telling a gay man that the path he is taking goes nowhere, only to pain. The man was motivated by compassion and mercy, not by hate, yet he still had to go through the months of trials and (if I remember correctly) had to go through simpathy training, led by a lesbian couple.
This legislation hurts more people than it helps. besides, it's unconstitutional. the first amendment forbids the abridgement of the Freedom of Speech.
Why is Hate Crime Legislation good for America?
