here's another take.
if somebody assaults somebody just because of thier race/sex/sexual orientation etc...., it means that the whole group is at risk of being victims to the person.
so, if the person is let out after serving the sentence (w/o hate crime), he/she can do it again. but w/ the added sentencing, he/she is off the street for the added time.
it's flimsy, but it keeps us safer
