You don't get it.
No one is acting as if this isn't a hate crime nor is anyone saying there's controversy that it's considered one.
What is in doubt is whether these scum bags will be prosecuted for a hate crime. There's a difference.
Also, the overall reaction is different. If this had happened to a disabled black guy by a bunch of white guys chanting "fuck blacks, fuck Obama", there'd literally be riots on the streets, people all over would be calling for justice. This forum would be on it like a tramp on hot chips.
You can't help but notice the differing response.
