And why is a racially motivated offense deserving of more punishment?


Because America is a melting pot of cultures and trying to install fear into a culture because you're a racist asshole is worse than just being an asshole in the heat of the moment.

It helps our justice system determine who's a bigger threat to society, without it we'd be labeling all crimes as terrorism

yolo county, seriously?

To be honest, it's not really that much more different than a burning cross. Nobody is afraid the burning cross is going to burn their house down. It's the symbolism. So it's not as much about the "bacon" as it is the symbolism of the bacon.

^
And yes, I'm aware that sounds stupid because it's "bacon." But replace the "bacon" with something else that a group of people find offensive and you'll see it.


I don't think so.
Burning cross as a symbol meant we will be back to hang you and kill you.

A random piece of bacon doesn't say that. There is no history of a group leaving a piece of bacon then later coming and killing everyone in the mosque.

It is more akin to a man giving you the middle finger. You know they dislike you, but there isn't anymore promise of killing or abusing you.

All those variables can be applied to hate crimes as well.


I never said they couldn't.

fenderbender321 posted...
And okay, so why should race and religion be reasons to punish somebody more severely?

You are doing a specific thing to a specific group of people for the sake of antagonizing them.

Not sure how it's not a hate crime.

A California woman faces up to six years in prison after admitting that she broke windows and left bacon at a mosque near Sacramento.

The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office said 30-year-old Lauren Kirk-Coehlo of Davis pleaded guilty to all charges on Wednesday.

So then why don't you agree with punishing somebody much more severely if they randomly punch one person on the street? Because if they do that, and we use the same logic/reasoning that is applied those who commit hate crimes, then we would conclude that they at risk to randomly punch ANYONE in their vicinity just for existing. Shouldn't that be a hate crime as well?

You're going circles, dude...


Again, hate crime has a specific definition. If a person's violence logically puts a group in danger, then it should be punished more severely than if the person's violence puts an individual in danger. It just wouldn't be a hate crime unless it fits the definition.

I'm going in circles at all. You're the one repeatedly changing the situation.

A broken window is a broken window. You still have to replace them. And like I said earlier, somebody who breaks windows for religious reasons isn't a bigger threat to society than somebody who breaks windows for the thrill of it. They both break windows.


the broken window isnt the only issue in this instance. One dude is breaking a window because he's an asshole

The other is targeting people of a certain race/religion/sex and specifically breaking windows to install fear into that community.

They are both charged with breaking the windows but the hate crime is charged more harshly because of the thought and premeditation that goes into the act.

One is a bigger danger to the community based off the one act. If the first guy who's doing it at random goes out and continues to do it then he is a bigger threat to someone who only does it once.

Well she obviously did it to annoy those people out of some form of hatred for their beliefs, otherwise there is literally no reason to do that.

If that doesn't apply as a hate crime what does? This is a serious question as no one takes the "hate crime" definition seriously

If breaking windows is bad...and I agree it is...then the same level of fear should be instilled into the community, because nobody wants broken windows regardless of why they're doing it.


thats true all crime is a fear inducing, but the hate crime is that they are doing it on purpose to a specific group of people.

Premeditated acts are always going to be judged harsher than an act of whim

I know man. People tossing bacon all over the place need to be locked up for life, or tossed into a volcano. Whichever is cheaper.

There are TONS of Jewish butchers that not only touch it, they prepare it. They ALSO are just not supposed to eat it.



Pork is unclean in a number of religions. Some won't even touch it. So are those religions "living in the stone age"?



Yes. Those laws were in a time where "pig" wasn't even the same breed we know it as today in America. Furthermore they didn't have the food cleaning and preparation methods we have today so it made much more sense back then to be funny about things like pork and shellfish. So yes, they ARE living in the stone ages if they still believe that.


I think it also has to do with the perception of the animal

Pigs often will eat anything. They love to roll in mud and are not very clean animals

To a lesser extent, but it was mostly due to people getting sick from eating pork (likely parasitic infection) so banning it was mostly a health and safety issue...

But yes, still not eating pork due to religion is antiquated as fuck and thus "yes" is the correct answer to the stone age question.

So just like most animals then? Even the loving family dog will eat his own shit and be dirty as fuck if you don't take care of him.
