Why wasn't this a hate crime. If the races were reversed you know there would have been charges.

[@francisdashwood1760]

If it were reversed, the prosecution would have put their 3rd grade teachers on the stand to testify that they once colored with crayon a Confederate Flag in class!

[@marciamcgrail5889]

Of course it is a hate crime: it certainly isn't a love crime. There's no reversal of 'races' bc there is only one race - the HUMAN race. The demons are amongst us....

[@derrickhewitt6171]

Why do you care about that part though? Hate crimes are a maximum of 10 years. They got WAY more than that. Plus, there's nothing to indicate it's a hate crime no matter what you think you know about the culture.

[@canesrock82]

@derrickhewitt6171 I pointed out the double standard. If it's categorized as a hate crime, it's an additional penalty.

Those five thugs committed a hate crime. "It was for the car." No.. they ABANDONED the car. They SAed both Channon and Chris repeatedly, then they tortured and murdered them in as grotesquely and brutally as possible. They even used bleach to attempt to conceal their DNA.
