Re: Tulsa shooting suspects Jake England, Alvin Watts charged with murder in Oklahoma
I can agree with you to an extent. Charging someone with a hate crime is pretty much the same thing as charging someone with "murder with special circumstances", which is common in many states. There are more aspects to some murders than race that can make the crime heinous, and thus deserving of the harshest penalties.
Good point. Hitmen don't hate their victims. To me it still doesn't make their crimes less wrong than someone who murders because of race.
