If Jewish teens attacked a bus full of black toddlers, there would be a race riot.

I concur, Bill…..sigh….. ):
And, I’m not sure how it’ll fly, since the term “hate crime” just keeps riding……but I’ll say it again: that term is no good. Evokes bad stuff in the emotions of all who contact it. Best to use all law on the books already, to keep order around…..

Its a crime and should be treated as such.
Just wonder where Sharpton and Jackson are when racism is present ?
Come to think of it Im glad they arent involved theyd be screaming that the black youths were targets of racism.

I gotta agree. On one hand, I do like seeing the “hate crime” laws applied fairly, allowing for even members of the “protected” class to be charged, but really, hate crime is barely a half-step from “thought crime” and there are adequate laws already on the books to put these little bastards where they belong for a long time.
