re: #182 windsagio

i’m coming in late so this might have been covered.

You realize you’re making a geenral argument used against hate crime laws right?

sorta, except sometimes it’s more illuminating to use a narrow example. i have already posted the caveat that i’m not a big hate crime law fan.

the difference here, though, is that we aren’t dealing with the “crime against a class of people” part of the HC laws, but rather whether an activity needs to have its motivations enumerated if the activity is to be banned outright regardless of the motivations.

so…yes and no?
