now object to people who have committed violent assaults getting harsh punishment.

I don't see any such people.

Wanting serious punishment doled out for serious crimes, without regard to the "victim class" status of the person the crime is committed against doesn't resemble your statement at all.

As you said, if the perps didn't kick someone else's ass for no good reason, they wouldn't have a legal problem to begin with.

If you "kick someone's ass for no good reason" you already have assault and battery charges, and possibly (if the beating is severe enough) murder, manslaughter, malicious wounding, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder etc., as well as lawsuits, and also possibly a rash of lesser charges.

And if its beyond "attacking someone for no good reason", and is actually an organized campaign of violence and terror (like say what the KKK did) than terrorism charges might be reasonable.
