And since race was brought up, #2 can also be labeled a hate crime which isn't going to help matters.

Let's add some spice to this:
The guy guilty of attemted rape is 40+ y.o, mexican and knows about 10 english words (despite the fact that he's been here for 5+ years). The girl, as already mentioned, is a 17 y.o. U.S. citizen (white).

what does rape have to do with hate? A hate crime involves an attack on a person because of racial, religious, or ethnic status or beliefs.

Because the OP brought up race. This "crime" has nothing to do with rape. It has to do with an individual pre-meditating murder. If rape is used as a reason behind it, then so can the fact that the victim is mexican (and by the OP's response, it isn't a stretch to label it a hate crime).
