And he likely would have done so even if there weren't any hate crime laws on the books.....by claiming to be the victim of a hate crime. Twice, actually. Claiming to have been attacked for being black, and for being gay.
Lots of speculation about her involvement in the case but no evidence whatsoever.
Oh, I don't know, there seem to be a lot of people going to jail and being fined millions of dollars because of the "silly stuff" turned up by the investigation. Remind me again, how many people were tried and convicted by the Republican investigations of Benghazi?So what's wrong with that?
We just spent over $25M on an investigation with no evidence of any kind before it started and ended up with none after it was all over, taxpayer money being wasted on silly stuff is a good thing isn't it?
No, the money they're taking from those people has already been earmarked to help out the top 1%ers that the Republicans love so much.(Oh wait maybe we should take it from the Welfare/Food Stamp coffers and see who all screams then).

Do you have any reason to believe that it was the existence of hate crime laws that motivated this particular way of trying to draw attention to himself?Yeah, sure he would. Sure he would.
If it does, then we'll discuss it. Until then it just seems like baseless rhetoric.The truth will eventually come out who arranged for him to receive his "skate on justice" card, it always does.
And if there were no hate crime laws, he would still have claimed that.....by claiming to be the victim of a hate crime. Twice, actually. Claiming to have been attacked for being black, and for being gay.
I completely agree that he tried to take advantage of it. But he could have done the same even if there were no hate crime laws.Something that he's trying to exacerbate,
That remains to be seen. Especially given how angry the Democratic, friend of the Obamas, mayor was about him getting off.and his handlers bailed him out when he got caught lying.
What did Michael Flynn admit to doing again?So what's wrong with that?

You do understand that hate crime laws don't make new crimes, right? They just increase the penalties for existing crimes in certain situations.Yeah, sure he would. Sure he would.
Federal hate crimes law actually creates a new crime, though for states you are right.You do understand that hate crime laws don't make new crimes, right? They just increase the penalties for existing crimes in certain situations.
Battery, except for the use of a firearm or explosive, generally isn't a federal crime unless it's motivated by somebody's membership in a protected class.What crime do federal hate crime laws create?
OK, although I would argue that it doesn't create a new crime but merely raises an existing crime to the federal level. Thanks.Battery, except for the use of a firearm or explosive, generally isn't a federal crime unless it's motivated by somebody's membership in a protected class.
I think the real question is why do people repeat lies and then demand answers to them? She had nothing to do with Amazon leaving NYC, despite your demand for a scapegoat. And as usual, there are the insults to her intelligence, while judging by the complaints, you likely support the ignorant policies of the Republican Party and its current leader.The news media loves and so do a lot of Democrats. But why? She recently cost NY $24.5 billion in tax revenue and 143,000 jobs over 10 years as her and others got Amazon to scuttle plans for HQ2 in Long Island City.
Her Green Deal is a joke that would cost $53-93 trillion over 10 years.
She's basically a 15 watt bulb in a socket that requires 100 watts.
Why is the news media making such a big deal over her? I don't get it.
That's not a new crime, that's elevating the punishment.Battery, except for the use of a firearm or explosive, generally isn't a federal crime unless it's motivated by somebody's membership in a protected class.
If it does, then we'll discuss it. Until then it just seems like baseless rhetoric.
