In 1991, a homosexual was stabbed to death after getting into a fight with a group of Houston teenagers.
A gay rights activist jumped into the case and pressured hard for prosecutors to pursue it as a “hate crime.” The 17 year-old stabber pled guilty and was sentenced to 45 years.
As the dust settled, and the years went on, the activist began to second-guess his original zeal. As he learned more about the perpetrator he realized he
made a mistake. This was not a hate crime.
After fighting so hard to get additional years tacked on the sentence, the gay activist found himself working even harder to get the inmate released.
He realized that just because a crime is committed against a gay man it doesn’t automatically follow that is a hate crime.
How many more people are being punished unequally for these nonsensical, and easily abused, hate crime laws?
Trying to watch the video knocked out my Kindle x 2.
Hate crime laws go one way only. They are applied when a minority is the victim but never when the minority is the perps. They are not laws penalizing criminal behavior but laws rewarding political power.
Why haven’t the courts thrown out “hate” laws? Any logical person can see the inequity of such laws.
“Victimhood” is just too easy these days…
I’m between line reading here, but is the real reason the old homo tried to get the guy out is because he learned Buice and the others are themselves homo? That new knowledge seemed implied that one point.
45 yrs is too long for murder?
has any black on white crime ever been classified a hate crime?
If no, that shows these laws are just political and not born of a desire for justice.
The Nazis, too, determined that crimes were based on “type” rather than individual transgressions.
Pretty weird similarities between the National Socialists and the American Socialists …
So does that make the actions of a predatory pedophile a “love” crime?
