I would put forth that there is never a need for 'hate crimes' legislation.
If one commits a crime, they should be punished suitably for it, regardless
of whether or not they were thinking hateful thoughts at the time...
The debris inbetween their ears is of no consequence when it causes
them to commit a criminal act.
We merely need to actually enforce the laws that are already on the
books now, rather than create more.
