Matthew Shepard Act has PASSED CONGRESS; Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

  1. i hate laws so much... well actually i hate the corrupt hipocrit assholes that make these pointless laws. in my opinion the most basic of laws combined with an educated jury should be all that is required..

  2. i suppose i'm the only one who sees the common sense in this.
    with this , lawyers have an easier time prosecute crimes such as.
    Shooting up a holocaust museum with relation to your background and motive.
    Gay bashing, which if not a popular sport of americas past time was not only not worth arresting, police took part in as well
    Gangbangers assualting someone because they thought he was gay and hispanic.

    i dont think it should be a surprise that irl people attack people surprising based solely on bigotry.
    and in many (but not that much) cases, you can't actually prosecute them with charges that are fitting because they're not in the books, but insteads settling for lower charges or "playing the system".

    o.o loli nauw?

    The whole idea of hate crimes is stupid. If you’re gonna commit a violent crime, you’re gonna hate the guy you’re committing it against, at least for a few moments. Every violent crime should be punished severely, and EQUALLY. Whether a person commits a violent crime because the victim is gay/black/white/female or the victim slept with his wife, the action of the crime doesn’t change at all. So why increase or decrease the severity based on the motivation?
