Hate Laws - Applied to Whites Only?

I found this article while doing a news search for lacrosse:

It's actually a very interesting situation.

The law itself, as the article states, is very clear.

It is designed to punish those who commit crimes "motivated by hatred, bias or prejudice, based on the actual or perceived race, colour, [b]religion[/b], national origin, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity of another individual or group of individuals". I don't give a **** of you're PURPLE, if you're beating someone and saying "**** (insert color here) people!" and the person you're beating happens to be that color, it's a hate crime.

For too long there has been a culture of entitlement that is race based.

For too long the race card has been played and people have backed off.

For too long crimes have gone unpunished because of fear of seeming "racist".

As you can see from the law excerpt above, it applies to ANY colour.

It's not a law applied only to white people.

It's not a law only applied to black people.

It's not a law applied only to yellow or red or brown people.

It's a law that applies to EVERYONE, and if you are going to break it, you deserve to be punished for it.

I don't care if you're white or black or red or yellow or brown or taupe or mauve or magenta. If you commit a crime against another racial group, as this gang obviously did, then you deserve to be punished for it.

Of course, the black community will call the Hate Law racist now, it's to be expected. It will come as no surprise to anyone if the teenagers charged (the youngest is 12?!?! WTF???) will play the race card as has so often been done in the past to excuse crimes.

The article has a caption that states: "Laws to protect black and other minorities from hate crimes are now being used against them as the US deals with a new wave of attacks." BULLSHIT!

The law was put into place to deter CRIMES, PERIOD. The law is blind. That's why Lady Justice is ALWAYS shown with a scales, a sword and BLINDFOLDED. She makes no distinction as to color, sexual orientation, age, religion or sex. Her laws are designed to be impartial and apply to everyone. Minorities have used the Hate Crimes laws to shelter their own activities and to protect themselves from the very same things that whites have been charged with, and now the law is being applied as it should: impartially.

Your race should not shield you from prosecution.

Your race should not make you above the law.

Laws are designed to be applied to everyone, no matter their race, sex, orientation, religion or age, and it's about time they bloody well did so.
