"Hate Crimes" the pinnacle of liberal lunacy, once and forever forsaking the principle of equal protection under the law, Animal Farm has arrived.

The whole concept of hate crimes is grounded in the principle of having certain groups being "protected". Hate crime laws require, that when a member of a protected minority group is harmed by a straight white man, additional punishment is warranted, over and above the usual punishment for the crime. So everybody gets special treatment except straight, white men.

The whole concept of hate crime laws is flawed, at its core, partly because it punishes based on motivation; this is essentially punishing because of what the person thinks as opposed to what the person does. It requires that the prosecution prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, what the defendant was thinking when he committed the crime; that is impossible. Hate crimes are thought crimes.

Hate crime legislation is reverse discrimination. It's what Rush Limbaugh calls "getevenwithemism"

The main stream media has already written the story. You can't expect a correction at this late date. We still have to write up the lynching. Let the historians try to get it right.

We'll see how the trial comes out. I don't think anyone's all that concerned that Zimmermann was "injured." I guess the teenager was convicted of bringing fists to a gunfight.
