I spent some time surveying what hate crimes laws are being used for:

cnn.com

ojp.gov

Most hate crimes described by victims accompanied violent crimes - a rape or other sexual assault, robbery, or assault (84%).

...........

hmmmm

Weird that some people on SI seem to think they could be targets of hate crimes- but I guess people have all sorts of hobbies we don't know about...

like violence against others

I'm not going to spend any time worrying about hate crimes laws being enforced, as long as the enforcement stays the way it is now. I have to say, considering what these crimes look like- the folks who perpetrate these crimes are getting off lightly.
