Skewed Various Responses; Still no such thing as a Hate Crime
Interesting how quickly Fox gets tot he point, but CNN takes paragraphs. Also note CNN asserts the RightThink moniker, Hate Crime, is about the victims mental capacity. Quite clearly mental capacity is not their motivation.
This entire racial issue needs to be quelled, not incited by media. It is not prevalent. It is not on the rise.

But you see, a special needs white guy being tortured by disadvantaged blacks ain't cool with the lib PC BLM narrative for being an inconvenient distraction, y'all.
Y'know, like all those horrendous black on black Chicago rapes and murders.
Nothing to see here. Move along..
A gangsta from the hood decides to beat up four perceived easy targets for special needs white people who beat him to death with their canes, crutches, artificial limbs, whatever. Maybe one is a concealed carry and shoots the poor unarmed thug.
A witness lies that the special needs white people attacked the gangsta.
Police investigate. Meanwhile, here comes BLM, Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Black and white cops assigned to crowd control are ambushed. A black neighborhood burns.
BLM feels vindicated until the four special needs white people are acquited.
Then the real hell kicks off.
with criminalizing emotions. To me, a crime is a
crime. Murder is murder,brutalization is brutalization, regardless of race. What
those thugs did should be severely--and I do mean
severely--punished.
Personally I think one can argue that both ways of looking at it are valid. I just like the laziness view, because it takes away the "cool" factor of the crimes and demeans the perpetrator.
Quite frankly I seriously doubt that such a "Crime" is even constitutional as it is a crime resulting from thought.....It is impossible to discern what someone was thinking when they commit an act. Therefore I suspect the civil war [equal protection] amendments would make such "Crimes" unconstitutional. I think that a strict reading of the constitution would reveal that there is no basis for prosecuting someone for a thought crime...only the actual act should be punishable.
This sort of "Crime" is just like all the regulations that Hank Reardon complained about when being asked to steel Reardon metal to the state science institute. He was told not to worry about them because "our friends don't have a problem with those laws" ...IE if laws are malleable and subject to interpretation...they can be used to oppress....and that is in the final analyses the reason for "Laws" like these.
When the BLM management policies have been hijacked by an environmental agenda that hates mining, don't we have a hate crime of extinction of private property rights performed through administrative fiat?
A crime is a crime. The particular motive is immaterial. The fact that there is one is.

If you're saying there's no such thing as a Hate Crime, I agree. https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

Took a while to find the old one.

Can't wait to hear the obfuscation from BLM, when they should simply condemn this and the actions of these people. Very simple:
"BLM is a movement to try to control the inappropriate actions of the very emotions evident in this video. BLM condemns this response. We do not want to resort to the very negative actions we seek to eliminate."
Would be simple, but that is not what BLM is about.
I find the CNN article much more to-the-point, but that's partly because it's a news story. I'm sure they run their own opinion pieces. The opinion piece on Fox is about a supposed double standard that I believe does not exist.
Here is one several days after the Ferguson shooting. Perhaps factual, but not as "Vulcan".
