If someone is killed for "love" or "don't care" instead of "hate" is that any less painful or lethal?
Murder is murder and should be prosecuted regardless of the motive.
I don't see any reason for passing this law.

Well there is no FBI track of transgender victims. Also the law that we are having right now does NOT include the gender identify so the transgender is the only group that are actually LEGAL to discriminate. There is 60 percent of transgender that had been murdered by hate crime.
Ok for example, Gwen Ajaruo(sp?) a transgender teenage girl was victim of massive beating up and end up death, those guys who killed her was only in the jail for 5 years and their family only earn $5,000. When those guys come out of the jail, they can vote, they can go to school.
Do you STILL want those guys to vote and go to school? Of course not, they absolutely don't deserve to vote and go to school while they murder our American folks with hate crime, giving us the bad names. We don't like that kind of stuff here in America.
This bill HAVE to be passed. My opinion, it's very wrong for the FBI to refuse to track the number of transgenders that are murder by the hate crime, refuse to include the gender identify in the Anti-Discrimination law, refuse to expand the law against the hate crime.
Plus this law will help us to feel safe to express ourselves.

Reba,
I am not sure if you're aware that many states cops don't really do anything about gay bashing or hate crime against gays. The cops saw the incidents, they just stand there and let it to happen to people. Most of them who did this think that gays do deserves it.That is very wrong of them. That is very common in southern/midwest states for the last few decades. Sometime it happen in west coast and east coast. This law will help stop from happening again. President Bush better pass this law!
