Quote:Hate crime statutes are designed to hold people accountable for violence or intimidation based on a victim’s race, color, religion, or national origin. In Pennsylvania, they’ve been misused to curtail the free speech rights of people of color when they’re arrested by police.
The Appeal reports that when 52-year-old Robbie Sanderson was arrested for theft in Crafton, Pennsylvania, he called the police “Nazis,” “skinheads” and “Gestapo.”

According to an affidavit of probable cause, he was charged with a hate crime.
“This is completely ridiculous,” Mary Catherine Roper, deputy legal director for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, told the Appeal. “This is not what the hate crime statute was for. This is criminalizing pure speech and that violates the First Amendment.”
