Truth be told, I didn't even notice there were strings attached when I first replied to this thread. OP's name should have told me as much, but I considered this to be a hate crime right from the get go. Because it was reported as an attack on a disabled person in our news. Which fits the bill of hate crime just fine without attaching additional factors.

This one, for some reason, made international headlines. Others don't. I gather you haven't heard of the homeless man in Berlin being set on fire or the refugee kid suffering severe burn after a shelter was torched. Or the gay man being beaten to a pulp for being gay. Right after he left the gay pride parade. I also get, you haven't read about the incidence I referred to when I first replied to this thread.

All of the above hate crimes. If someone thinks it's only about skin, they have a very narrow understanding of what can be considered a hate crime.
