Ahhhhhhhhhhh got it, so it is NOT ok for someone to receive special treatment for being different, but it IS ok for someone to have the crap beaten out of them or be killed for that same reason. Got it.
LDB, I never before truly understood what it means to be an American. Thank you for the enlightenment
Although I can't be sure, I don't think that is what LDB meant.
All violent crimes are hateful and should be deemed as hate crimes. And all crimes deserve equal justice. Choosing a special group of people, to receive more justice than the remainder of society, creates second class victims. That is what is un-American.
