Hate crimes...

I think the reason he calls himself Wiggerbeater, is because if he used the term in that Python sketch, that WOULD be a hate crime.

Oh, just thought. You referred to that document as a 'Bill of Rights'. Shouldn't there have been an accompanying 'Bill of Responsibilities' as well?

Amendment: A change or alteration to an existing document to either improve or enhance it.

Constitution: A document that contains the laws and rules of a country or organization for use by the population or members as the legislature (or committee defined.

Constitutional congress: Quorum of government or oganizational members metting to discuss changes or additions to the Constitution.

See, Wiggerbeater, I do have some knowledge, afterall. BTW, if I get the true meaning of your name, that would make you a person who would beat up on white trash, something akin to a rabid redneck.

Well sue me then because American law doesn't apply here.
As I said before, crime is crime no matter what, and just because someone from a different race etc is involved doesn't make the crime any different. Unfortunately, it seems that the American legislature operates on knee-jerk reactions to sensationalist stories by the press and media, and it also explains who is actually running the country - Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates.

Hate crime? Why not just ordinary crime? It's a crime just the same. When a gay man kills a straight man, it's murder. When a straight man kills a gay man, it's a hate crime. That reasoning is flawed, and unfair to the majority if someone gets a harsher punishment for killing a member of a minority group. Just define it as murder, no matter whoever the innocent victim, and why.

Same should go for police as well; just because someone attacks a cop, doesn't mean they should be treated any more harshly than if they attack the local grocer. I know that some of you are going to say that the cops are authority, but in the whole scheme of things, they are just people too, and should have no more weight than that.

And using that screwed up logic about hate crimes, what if a darkie kills a white gay boy, or vice versa? As far as I'm concerned, it's murder, full stop.

Revolution or treason, there is another word for it which eludes me. Yes, the KKK tried to justify their actions by not only saying they were right, but it was God that told them that the 'Human Stain' had to be dealt with. Misguided logic, and dogma contributed to the problem and I s'pose it makes it hard to deal with 'lunatics' when they get an idea into their collective minds. It just seems a bit of 'overkill' to use a term like hate crime when only part of the population are the victims. But then again, we live in crazy times....
