Sometimes things just need to be codified into law to explicitly make clear "do not do this", for certain people to understand it.

If murder being against the law isn't going to stop someone from doing it, telling them they're especially naughty for being a bigot as well probably isn't going to phase them too much.

Again, this is why hate crime laws tend to make sense at lower levels of severity (where extra punishment for bigotry might help discourage minor crimes like property destruction or harassment), but once you shoot past assault and into murder, how racist you may or may not be sort of takes a backseat to, hey, maybe you shouldn't be killing people for any reason.

Pretty sure in this cause though it was because the church was frequented by black people. I mean a white meth head murdering a black dude for his wallet wouldn't really be a hate crime imo just typical robbery and murder.

But is someone planning a mass murder spree at a black church somehow inherently so much worse than a white person planning a mass murder spree at a white church?

Or could we possibly agree that planning a mass murder spree at a church is pretty fucked up no matter who is inside?

It's not like the people are going to be any less dead if you murdered them for no obvious reason, whereas racism makes them extra dead.
