I made it clear I don't. You're assuming the mind of another though, which is my point. If a guy hates Jews and beats up a Jew he isn't necessarily seeking to intimidate the race.Wrong. Cop killing is an attack on the law enforcement system. They are doing their jobs and killing them puts undo pressure on the whole system. It has zip to do with hate.There are additional penalties for killing children or cops. OP's logic dictates these must go as well.
It's additional penalties based on the nature of the crime. Murder is murder, right?
People who commit hate crimes are not attacking the individual, their intent is to terrorize that minority group and they get additional penalties as a result.
Either you support additional penalties based on the nature of the crime or you don't.
Jewish is not a race, its a religion.
