Hate not required for a Hate crime
Permalink  

Evidently it is not required to "hate" one of the special, protected classes in America to commit a hate crime.
They may not call them "thought police", but that doesn't change what they do.

The whole trend toward managing our thoughts... I just don't see it being good.

the original hate crime bills years ago forced a wedge in the door. There is no longer equality under the law when some groups are protected over others. This isn't only not good, it's bad. Very very bad.

Yeah, not just protecting certain groups over others, but they want to know our thoughts and motivations and manage them for us.

Where was the hate crimes legislation back in Missouri during the 19th century? Heck any crime laws back then would have been nice.

We need some national test cases in the current supreme court. Any volunteers to loudly voice your religious beliefs in one of those jurisdiction to try and arrested or fined for your civil speech? (Please, don't commit any crimes, because I will endorse conviction in those cases).

I'd be a bad candidate for being any sort of "test case". I don't like rocking the boat. I even obey the speed limit, mostly.
