Topic	16 year girl caught planning to commit a hate crime in North Georgia
afrodude77 11/20/19 7:25:41 PM #9:	aDirtyShisno posted... Im pretty sure hate is already part of the crime. Hate defines, or helps define, intent and intent is required to convict anyone of a serious crime. Without hate murder would be manslaughter, and so forth. What youre actually advocating for, and what hate crime laws enforce, is race based sentencing. I.E. a white man hurting a black man gets a harsher sentence than a black man hurting that same black victim. There is no logic to that type of sentencing and it would be unconstitutional to attempt to enforce. I mean it's one thing for a white man to mug a black man that's just robbery. But planning to attack a black Church with knives when the the would be perpetrator already idolizes someone like Dylan roof seems like a hate crime in my book. It seems unlikely that the white man would get a harsher sentence than a black man in your scenario imo --- WAR EAGLE --- <cite>afrodude77 posted [p:930444893] in 16 year gi...
