Hate v. Death in the Matthew Shepard Act

I'll respond to your thread, so you don't have to keep posting on it by yourself. If "hate" crimes are so bad, I don't see why making them capital cases is a bad thing. Since straight, white, Christian males cannot be the victims of a "hate" crime, this amendment ought to get revenge on some of them. That is the purpose of "hate" crimes, isn't it? To get back at evil whites by extra punishment. I say, great. Let's do it. It won't affect me, I don't kill, rape, rob, assault, or sexual abuse any minorities, so I'm fine with the law. If your disdain for perpetrators of "hate" crimes is authentic, killing those convicted of such crimes should be welcomed. I'd prefer everyone be equal, but thtat's me. So if we are going to engage in legal discrimination, let's do it right. Convicted of a "hate" crime, fry 'em.
