I agree Mal.
I've been living here in NYC and have been witness to all these "bias" crimes since just before I arrived with the Crown Heights Riots.
Whether or not the crime is racially motivated doesn't really matter as much as it's a crime and a crime that should be punished. Why should someone get a worse punishment because it was induced by racial predjudice? I don't care if what color the other person is who is my assailant, they are still my assailant.
