Let me reframe the OP a bit better clarified.
I am not a support of hate/bias crime legislation. A crime is a crime.
Why is a hate crime worse than another crime?
If a person is murdered versus a person murdered because he's black?
If a person is assualted versus a person who is assualted because of sexual orientation, race, creed?
Why is a HATE/BIAS crime worse than a regular crime? What makes it worse? Why?
