re:and not present ridiculous BS I find the idea of making motive a crime in and of itself quite funny. That someone of obvious learning as yourself to not remove oneself from the emotion of law making is even worse. I see hate crimes as a something different from other crimes. Apparently, you don't. However, I don't think of it as an "emotion of law". I don't think it has much to do with emotion at all.....not in the end at least. It has to do with insecurities that turn into hate and then a bias that becomes a driven psychosis. When it gets to that level, the person has become disturbed and commits the crime. That's not the same as someone robbing a bank because they need the money although a perpetrator may rob as a part of the hate crime. We don't think of a bank robber as disturbed but rather amoral. The perpetrator of a hate crime is beyond amoral.
