I don't agree. The hate crime problem is very bothersome, but we can't have people like me shooting down their haters without mercy when ever they feel annoyed or trespassed against. The civil peace must be protected against those who would create disorder and in turn fall to the self-helping victims self defense. When the mob directs terror against people like homosexuals, racial minorities and such, the state should use greater force to protect the despised minorities than is necessary to protect ordinary people who are victims merely of greed or fury.
When one intentionally kills anyone with malice aforethought he commits a vile crime. To kill someone to foment or exercise hate creates a more terrible wrong, as bad, IMO as bad as killing a policeman. I think injuring certain people is a far greater wrong than injuring others. I do not consider my being solicited for sex by someone less powerful than me a crime at all. Some one who solicits sex from a little child has IMO commited a crime. Circumstances alter cases. Justice is the perpetual attempt to render to each what is his due. (Gaius?) We are all due different things. I can still defend myself. I don't need the protection of special laws. I cherish the right to defend myself. I enjoy doing it. Others can't. The state should protect them in inverse proportion to their own ability at self-defense.
