Hate crime law gone awry.

[broon]

I'm fine with hate crime charges if the person was picked on because of a protected status. But if you get into a bar fight and use a racial slur in the middle of it, it shouldn't be charged as a hate crime. In this case it seems the fight happened for a different reason than his sexual orientation.

"protected status" idea is flawed. No one should be in a protected status.

Everyone is in a protected status. If you don't want to be, move to Somalia.

While males are protected. If someone was killing white christian males in order to terrorize the population they, too, should be subject to added punishment and determent activities.
