It is this blissninnie logic that astounds me, that raping a woman for certain reasons makes the rape worse than someone who rapes a woman for a different set of reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-73105911118147682752008-12-29T08:32:00.000-05:002008-12-29T08:32:00.000-05:00D, I have no idea whether the victims were drug de...D, I have no idea whether the victims were drug dealers and I doubt you do either. Again, I think some of you are misguided on the need for hate crime laws. Someone tossed a molotov cocktail at Chicago's oldest synagogue this morning. Skinheads burned houses on Indianapolis' southeastside when they thought they were going to be occupied by blacks. Skinheads also beat a black man right downtown in front of dozens of witnesses for no other reason than he was black. You may see these crimes as no different from ordinary crimes but I would contend they impact everyone. That makes these crimes different than other crimes.Gary R.

If there needs to be a distinction for 'hate crime,' then there must be 'like crimes.'

It had nothing to do with the war, other than occurring at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I suppose you think the fact that these guys were drug dealers had nothing to do with their deaths.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396326144115748778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-67652172966316183822008-12-28T12:58:00.000-05:002008-12-28T12:58:00.000-05:00And by that thinking the Holocaust was no differen...And by that thinking the Holocaust was no different than other casualties suffered during war.Gary R.

Multiple life or death in the gas chamber is surely going to be the penalty in this case under current law.Downtown Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239811599722585898noreply@blogger.com
