The law:

“It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons, to burn, or cause to be burned, a cross on the property of another, a highway or other public place. Any person who shall violate any provision of this section shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.
“Any such burning of a cross shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to intimidate a person or group of persons.”

The Supreme Court decision:

"In this case we consider whether the Commonwealth of Virginia’s statute banning cross burning with “an intent to intimidate a person or group of persons” violates the First Amendment. We conclude that while a State, consistent with the First Amendment, may ban cross burning carried out with the intent to intimidate, the provision in the Virginia statute treating any cross burning as prima facie evidence of intent to intimidate renders the statute unconstitutional in its current form."

it's just plain dang silly of people to think that you can be charged with hate crime just for spraying swastika on some abandoned building or simply yelling - "You F**king Jews!". You are protected by Amendment One and you're free to explicitly express your hatred toward Jewish people unless it turned into violence or you inciting people to commit violence toward Jewish people.

You are scary if you are a certified counselor. You need some serious CE.

Among other things. Several different ones that could be used. Haldol generally for an out of control psychotic.

I can't tell you what you were trying to say.

If you don't want to make it clear so that we can discuss it, well, that's your perogative.

It's not about less justice, it's about taking into consideration whether the crime was motivated by bigotry.

Have you ever been a subject of bigotry? Have you ever had violence committed against you because you're a white Christian woman?

So, i would like to hear exactly why in your own words, exactly how you think hate crime laws work and give support for your argument. You've been demanding everyone else to provide facts to support their argument. How about you do the same?

Now Jiro, I'm sorry of I came off hard but I do greatly appreciate your admittion. I had the advantage of growing up in Alabama, so I do know how the two colleges
could be confused. I'm cool, we are cool.

no I didn't confuse between those two colleges. I searched for "top black colleges" and University of Alabama came up in the list.

impossible for me to confuse between "University of Alabama" and "Alabama State University"

U.of Ala. is no more a top black college that is jillio's Ohio State!

Get a clue.

We should do so in a civil manner, and not make our arguments personal attacks. It doesn't require a PhD to do that.
