Crock of shit is failing to recognize that the law already treats murders differently. You have murder in the first, second, and third degrees. And the law, without the hate crimes provision, actually benefits the racists because it allows for a "heat of the moment" argument.
And I've yet to see you address the several issues that are NOT related to murder. Because murder is only one of the crimes hate crimes legislation applies to.
