What comes after the death penalty? Death by torture? So I take it you're not in favor of additional laws protecting gays from the same fate of Matthew Shepard?

That comment confused me. We already have plenty of laws protecting any human being from the fate suffered by Matthew Shepard. Are you talking about something different or a duplicate set that specifically targets gays?

Bill, what legislation could have possibly protected Matthew Shepard? Evil in the form of the two animals that did what they did is no respecter of law. Mr. K.

I believe the murderers of Matthew Shepard will be subject to the death penalty.....I would call that ultimate justice, wouldn't you? <edit> I see others have answered your question quite well. The very idea of "hate" crimes is ludricrous. Yet, notice how Bill Clinton jumps on such a notion, something ideally constructed to produce further polarization among groups.....He's really quite good at finding these vulnerabilities and exploiting them to his political advantage. bp
