pull your heads out of the sand people... it's only a hate crime when straight white people hurt/kill gays and/or minorities. see the world for what it is.
they don't charge it as a hate crime when a gay person or black person beats up or kills a white person.
that's why I say this was a hate crime, they 3 black men should be charged with a hate crime because if they were white they would be.
Racism works both ways nowadays.
the dead white man isn't worth charging these 3 black men with an extra penalty because he was only white.
re-read that last sentence and rearrange the colors... then you'll see what is wrong with not charging the 3killers with a hate crime.
