Two Street Preachers Shot

[Rev. Rye]

I thought the law applied if the person was killed because of orientation, race, or religion, which would enhance the penaly. In this case the two were killed for preaching.

i didn't see where it said they were killed because they were preaching, or because they were of a certain religion. so maybe not a hate crime.
or it may be but it might not be provable what motivated this crime.
The shooter if found guilty will probably get a life sentence anyway, I don't think an extra few years will make that much difference.

For that matter, the article seems to state that at this point, there was no information on the actual motives of the shooting.
