1) That's called murderHoly fuck.
It's the act that defines homicide, negligence or defense. No wonder you support hate crimes, you feel things instead of thinking through them.
It is not the act .
You can shoot someone dead . That's the act .
But what if
1) you shot the guy cause you walked in on him banging your wife.
2) you shot the guy while cleaning your gun
3) you shot the guy cause he was an intruder in your house.
According to you all 3 are the same . What you were thinking doesn't make a difference .
2) Negligent discharge. Not murder but Involuntary manslaughter or some such charge.
3) Self defense. Cops chuckle and roll to the next call.
Bingo ! But the difference is what the guy is thinking. Motive .
So enough of this "what people are thinking doesn't matter " nonsense .
Apples and oranges.
What you're trying to do is make a comparison between different types of killings and killing based on category of people. If I kill an intruder it doesn't matter what race, sex or religion that person is. The same if I accidentally shoot somebody or catch them sleeping with my wife.
However Hate Crimes are special protections for potential Democrat voters like gays and minorities. How would you like if Republicans got leadership and made it an automatic death penalty for killing cops, CEO's or religious leaders?
No special group of people should have more advanced protection than all the other groups of people. It's a violation of Equal Protection. Furthermore is the hypocrisy from the left that have always protested capital punishment which is part of a Hate Crimes sentencing.
It is equal protection .
You realize white people can be victims of hate crimes right ? There's this misconception that hate crimes don't cover everyone .
It is not equal protection. Harsher sentences are designed to give more of a deterrent to those who wish to commit crime against X people. How is that equal protection? X people were selected to have more protection than everybody else. That's not equal protection, that's unequal protection.
