[quote=FlyerInHi]CAr, you make it sounds like crimes are not punished severely enough.
Let’s assume for a moment that you believe punishments fit the crimes.
Hate crimes can be punished more severely if prosecutors decide to bring up charges.
What’s your beef? You already have what you want.
If not, do you want punishments for non hate crimes upgraded to hate crimes levels?[/quote]
Yes, which would essentially mean that there is no separate category for “hate crimes.” ALL violent crimes against random, innocent victims are equally reprehensible.
