Feds charge white man with hate crime in first ‘knockout’ prosecution

a351 said:
The stated motive is readily available in this case, whereas in the vast majority of others is purely speculative and therefore not a worthwhile avenue to pursue. Shouldn't be much of a controversy to be quite frank. Of course, that would squander a perfectly good opportunity to drum up fears of white persecution at the hands of a black President and Attorney General.

Breaking the law is ok, depending one's motive?

If the act of the same, yet only the thinking is different, where is the "unfair" characterization?

You lied about what I said. You'll get more reasoned responses when you start posting reasonably. I don't expect this to happen.

You didn't talk about punishing thought?

Apparently, since our legislators are elected by the people, it's excused.

Because calling you stupid with a lowercase s fails to give your posts due credit?

I heard a report this morning saying he wanted to do it to a black person to see if it would make the news. He's getting his answer.

This is another case of the Holder-run justice department going after a White person rather than prosecuting the dozens and dozens of these attacks perpetrated by Blacks.

Transparent indeed.

I agree whole heartily with that.

No, it fails to show me the proper respect.

What is an anti-terrorism law?

Doing the act without knowing ins't murder.

Do you really not know that we have laws which increase the sentence for violent acts that are committed for terroristic purposes?

BTW, don't think I didn't notice how you didn't answer the question about manslaughter

I am not aware of any that are referenced like "hate crimes."

I specifically responded to it.

But, rather than clarify the comments, your first instinct was to go into insult mode.
 
Isn't this another Bonfire of the Vanities?

I'm by no means excusing this crime - he's guilty as sin by his own recording. This isn't about the white man, but the omission of the black defendants who are NOT charged with a hate crime. Each case must be taken individually and obviously a hate crime is not extended in all situations.

Who exactly are "the libbos" ? Give us five examples of what you claim is a commonplace. Breaking the law is not OK, but some crimes attract an extra tariff when they are motivated by hate, on top of criminality.

You bring up a good point. And While I think there is a clear disparity in how the public and state react to crimes involving individual;s of differing racial backgrounds, have any of the other "knock-out attacks" involved such clear evidence of racial motivation?
