The problem with "Hate crimes".
|
Point is, for something to count as a hate crime, it has to involve something that’s already a crime, not just generally expressing hate for a group.

OFC, as made perfectly clear in the statutes. That doesn't much matter to folks like our friend OLB, who feel as though their conscience convicts them of crimes they don't believe should be punished, or even be punishable.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Well, this will come as a big sigh of relief to lynching victims.

Sometimes 'the whole is more than the sum of its parts', for lack of a better phrasing of the premise I'm applying. The point is that the thought behind a crime is an indication of motive. And the motive for an action is relevant to law. Thinking without acting isn't relevant to law.

"I hate that person because of their skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.", while vile, is dramatically different from, "I hate that person because of their skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, so I attacked/hurt/killed them."
A thought is a lot different from an action. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
