Headline in todays paper:" Handling of hate crimes becoming a
major police concern ".
Hate crimes - defined as " criminal acts motivated by prejudice
based on gender ,sexual orientation, national origin or religion ".
I am,of course, appalled by the most recent example of " hate crime ":
a black man sadistically murdered KKK style by four white men.
Not surprisingly at protest rallies black hate groups had a
field : " Hating the white man is as American as apple pie " ( or something
with the very same meaning ) edit ; field day.
The definition of " hate crimes " ironically implies that most
murders and assaults in this country are not " hate crimes "- just
somebody having a bad day !
What about the shootings in the schools ? What about " road rage "
assaults ( a Warwick incident on the front page of the Providence
Journal, June 16 ) ? What about domestic violence -often the purest
form of " hate crime " )
Remember Craig Price of Warwick ? Craig murdered a whole family-
a lovely family. Craig - perhaps himself the victim of racism - just
had one of his moody days! And minors,of course, simply lack the
maturity of mind demanded for most " hate crimes ".
There will be a lot of preaching to the choir - after a particularly
shocking " hate crime ". " Let us root out all malice from our hearts ! "
But the underclass of psycopaths- who will continue to commit " hate
crimes " - is not listening.
I have said this before : Perhaps we need a better mental health
