A Clean Case Against Hate Crimes

I ask this not as a talking point for an argument but as a philosophical question for proponents of hate crime legislation.

Regardless of race, or sexual preference or religion, isn't a human always a human. So then for one to hurt another human is always a hateful thing. To harm another human without reason is always a hate crime.

The fascists are at large in this country indeed. The left propagandists are not just satisfied with control of our free speech and limitations of property, but now they seek control of our thoughts. It is like i have said before, in Nazi Germany crime punishment would be much higher if one was a Jew supporter. So if you thought, ok remember these are your thoughts, if you THOUGHT that the Jews were good, you would pay a higher price for your crime. This is pure fascism as the government then intervenes and attempts to direct your thoughts. Now the US has never stooped to this level of fascism, yet with hate crimes that day has come. We now are telling you what you think and trying to alter your views.

What hate crimes do is say that it is better to kill some one who stole your wallet, but it is not okay to kill or harm some one who is black. If it's because he is black or Jewish, or gay, then that is the end of the world. But oh, he just broke into your car last night that's fine go ahead.

So that leads me to this question: Is it any more wrong to kill some one for any reason, no matter what? Isn't killing still killing. The point is you are taking a human life. So then since certain killings are worse than others, are certain people better than others? Are some worth more? Are some people more or less human than others that we need to make these distinctions?

Now as far as law goes, every "hate crime" or "act of hate" already has law against it. You cannot murder by law, you can not steal by law, you may not harass another person, you may not abuse or sexually assault some one by law. Thus every "act of hate" is already covered. The only difference is the law does not make a distinction of race or sexuality. The law says that you can't kill people, it does not say that you can't kill gay people. Gays are people too right? Isn't that what GLBT groups say? So then why do they require distinctions? They are humans just as straight people.

This legislation also denies equal protection under the law since two people who commit the same crime may depending on the circumstances of the crime (ie orientation or race of victim) suffer two very different punishments.

In short, hate crime legislation is unfair and makes it appear as if some are more human than others that they require distinctions to be made when the victim of a crime. It is not any better to kill some one based on "hate" or based on personal conflict or no reason at all. Considering serial killers simply kill who ever the hell they want, are those people worth less, are they less human than gay people who are killed. Also since many people in this country are gay or black or mexican, or jewish, or muslim than who decides weather it is a hate crime or not. A family could decide their victim was gay, therefore it was a hate crime, even if the criminal was unaware of that.

Hate crime legislation is fascism at its best. it promotes favoritism and deems people more human than others. It is legally unnecessary and denies equal protection under the law. All reasons why we should get rid of hate crime legislation.
