will you're a smart guy think about it.
if you accidentally kill someone it was not your intent to do so, which is why the manslaughter charge exists. However, if you kill someone because they have blonde hair or they are black or just because you are a sick fucker.. then the intent was there to commit harm in the form of murder. That is a huge difference between the 2 laws. To associate a hate crime as a worse form of murder simply because of skin only leaves racism on the table.
So you can put out the slipping on floor/stabbing argument but that's obvious don't you think?? A murder can only be a murder if the intent was to murder. If the intent was to murder than no matter how the murder occurred or who the victim was, it was still an intent to murder and in fact a so called hate crime. If you kill a white man.. isn't there a case to say it is a hate crime even if you are white under this law? Does that make sense. Of course it doesn't. You murder someone and you are using some form of hatred.
