Obviously hate crimes are terrible, but what's the justification for tougher sentencing? If I do something horrible to someone because they are X, why is that worse legally than doing it to them just because I feel like it? I may be missing something obvious.

Vorlie is a good staff member even with broken ribs et al.

I am still wanting to know why my most holy name has been summoned on the OP? Butthurt Napo? Yes he is.

Have I told you you can or can't do recently? As Staff? I know my peen is too great for your butt, but let it go. It wasn't a staff action and you know it. Are you so insignificant on reddit that you need to copy pasta stuff from reddit into here? At least give ( i know its hard ) your thoughts on the matter.

Haha, I only putted in the tip and he is already squirming. Hilarious

Let's see how long that lasts.

You're surprised? I can't possibly understand why.

Well Bella, that is the most unthinked comment of the day. Oh wait, in lesser words: that is plain stupid.

Or do you prefer: "you are entitled to your idiocy".

Choices, choices....

Of course nobody will defend the attackers.. I thought this was to start a discussion about hate-crime legislation.

I also think the term "hate crime" is pointless and redundant in all cases. Crime is crime, send these 4 people off for a very lengthy jail sentence, get the victim the treatment and counselling he's going to need and let's move on with the rest of our lives.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
