(January 5, 2017 at 4:05 pm)Redoubtable Wrote: The article doesn't say what hate crime they are being charge with though. Hate against the disabled or hate against white people?  If it's the former, it's like a cop-out because we saw language of racial hatred used and not language indicating hate for people of a certain disability.

It's not much of a cop-out. You don't have to use words for something to be charged as a hate crime. Honestly, though they were yelling "fuck white people" rather than "fuck disabled people", maybe prosecutors think it would be easier to convince a jury of their peers on the ableist hate crime more than the racial hate crime.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but the US justice system is unfortunately built that way.
