I get the feeling you guys like redundancy since there seems to be a problem with getting it done right the first time. Enforce what laws there are now.

The anti hate law was passed simply as a knee jerk reaction. Here is how I see a story headline as a result of that law:

"John Q. Idiot was given an extra 10 years in prison because the man he stabbed had blonde hair and blue eyes which Idiot claims to hate. This sentence comes on the heels of a 5 year sentence he received when he also stabbed the redheaded woman who accompanied the blonde man. Idiot's claim that he likes redheads resulted in the judge handing down a normal sentence"

I know.... the purpose of the law is to deter hate and bias driven crime, but people who hate to that extreme are seldom put off by stiffer sentencing. You should understand that thinking, you are the same people who oppose the death penalty claiming it's not been effective as a deterrent.

Where's the logic?
