>>The slippery part is who's mind does the hate reside - society, the victim or the criminal.

The pedophile or even some whacko KKK marcher attacked by a crowd - he's a hater being attacked by haters - get's weird quickly. Then toss in immigrants with other world views and it could get ugly. Isn't rape in general called a crime of hate not passion.<<

There are so many real-world cases we could talk about, where the hate is crystal clear, that there's really no need to come up with your own unlikely hypotheticals.

Even total assholes get equal protection under the law, or the law is meaningless. Only if the pedophile or Klansman is assaulted while assaulting a child or a black would their own views be a mitigating factor.
