		<description><![CDATA[Just another set of special rights for homosexuals. If that had been two straight people. They both would be charged. But since one of the perpetrators was gay. No punishment.
I have seen hundreds of altercations like this where the vandal and assaulter were arrested. I guess it&#039;s not enough to redefine the meaning of words and rituals. Let&#039;s make them above the law. B.S. wake up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The case maybe different from what we&#039;ve read in the press.  Did the lesbians harass the man before he smashed the windshield?  We don&#039;t know.  It still wouldn&#039;t justify vandalism but it&#039;s possible the circumstances maybe different from what the press has read.]]></description>

Look it up on the bellingham herald website.  Of course if these crimes were by a gang called the white pride nordics the SPLC would be the first to jump on it.  Damn Hypocrites.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So others aren&#039;t misled by Frank: Hate crime laws (which do NOT punish thought, but rather violent acts - you can&#039;t be convicted of hate crime enhancements without an act to enhance) are no different in judging motive than many other laws, such as attempted murder (which relies on intent!).  Juries ever day look at motive, as it&#039;s a key element in proving guilt of just about all crimes.  In otherwords, juries look at thought.

In addition, victims of hate crimes are not just those attacked.  It includes all members of a community that share a trait in common with the victim.  &quot;Die &quot; sprawled on a church is not just a simple case of vandelism, but rather a threat made against an entire group of people - something someone&#039;s meaningless scribble on the same church wall is not.  They are different crimes, hense the need for different sentences.  One is a simple property crime.  The other is a threat intended to deprive others of freedom.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok define irony. 

1. Frank comes out swinging, talking about how &quot;hate crimes&quot; are &quot;surreal&quot; to him.  (Probably just another conservative who gets incredibly upset and obsessed about things he doesn&#039;t bother to actually READ.)  

2. Wraps up the post by referencing Hindu mythology(Kali Yuga), most likely gleaned from Savitri Devi Mukherji, a rather disturbed individual who not only saw Hitler as a possible avatar of Vishnu, but who also ended up writing a novel wherein her many cats served as the cast of characters.  One has little reason to whine about the &quot;Kali Yuga&quot; in this context without having been influenced by Savitri Devi&#039;s writings.  For the normal folks at home- Savitri Devi&#039;s work is primarily appreciated in the West by Neo-Nazis.  

Yeah, hate crimes sentence enhancements are SURREAL!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frank M., if you have a point it is that sentences in any violent assault need to be increased to the levels of those in a hate crime. However, I believe the hate crimes sentences should then be ratcheted up even further, until we stop dumb beasts from trying to enforce their ignorant ideas of race and gender on a society that is generally trying to progress to a higher level.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The very concept of a hate crime, i.e. a thought crime, being codified in American law is so surreal to me, like a page out of 1984 having come to life.  It is also a clear indication that the free American Republic born of the Revolution is dead, and the rising tide of leftist tyranny has finally scuttled liberty in the West.

With mind-computer interface technology advancing rapidly, and thought-reading by computers on the near horizon, it is only a matter of time before the cultural marxists and their SLPC cheerleaders are advocating imprisonment of people for merely having &quot;racist thoughts&quot;. 

We truly are living in the Kali Yuga. The only comfort I can take is that this oppressive  culture of totalitarian leftism is going to collapse soon: economically, politically, and culturally.  Then the time of rebirth for the West will give us a chance to sweep away all the detritus and begin anew.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This reminds me of a similar incident I witnessed in Norfolk Virginia in the early 70s while stationed there in the Navy. A couple of drunk sailors were harrassing a lesbian couple at the bar of a Chesapeake establishment. One of the regular&#039;s kept telling the sailor to leave them alone but he wouldn&#039;t. Eventually they left and one of the loud mouths followed them out side. He soon came back in bleeding all over the place. He screamed out that the crazy lesbian had cut him up with a straight razor! The bar tender called the cops and then proceeded to throw the guy out of the bar after telling him, I told you to leave them alone. Just goes to show...]]></description>
