I'd be curious to see the statistics in which these crimes actually have a clear "hate" motivation. My problem with hate crimes is that it's nearly impossible to estabilish intent without a confession, or witnesses testifying that said person was spueing hate speach while committing said crime. Is it possible that alot of people have been charged and convicted for a hate crime for which the victim just happened to be of a different race, creed, sexual orientation and the purpotrator didn't neccessarily commit the crime because of those reasons?
