I am of the mindset that ANY crime, is a hate crime if its done towards a person. (vs stealing or vandalism etc...., non personal crimes).
I cannot figure out what, in western society, is pushing the "HATE" part of the legislation. Rape is rape, murder is murder. Some will say that if its for a REASON, like race, sex, etc... then its a HATE crime. But arent all crimes for a reason?
The logic overwhelms me. Perhaps there is some other reason I am missing because pretty soon, EVERY reason will be legislated. Crime against a person that is 5LBs heavier than you? HATE crime. Crime against somebody shorter than you? HATE crime. Crime because the person wears opposite gender clothes every other Friday? HATE crime.
