National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

Question for the group.

Can a minority commit a "hate crime" against someone of the same, or similar, minority?

Yes. There are multiple protected classes. Race is only one of them.

Protected Classes: Race, Religion, Sex, National Origin, Age, Disability, and Genetic Information, at the Federal Level.

Some other states expand this under Sex to include Trans-gendered people.

So, for instance, say an Jewish guy committed a crime against another Jewish guy who was over 40. Boom, could be a hate crime.

Does the word "matriculation" have a different dictionary definition? Because I thought that meant 'where someone went to school.' So that's a "hate crime" now?

From all other references across other statutes, it does indeed mean that.

Basically.. if you were wearing a Yale sweatshirt.. and someone beat you up on street.. you could argue that it was a hate crime.

Matriculation means National Origin. Blessed are the woke who run DC, for they shall inherit a burned out earth.

*Change the language so it no longer means what it was supposed to mean.

I think national origin is already covered in what @Florida173 posted, though.

I'm guessing matriculation includes where you were educated and maybe your education level (whether or not you matriculated to anywhere to begin with), too.

Ah you're right, I didn't see that since the DC statute he referenced has like 15 protected classes.
 
This whole thing is ridiculous. "Equal protection under the law" seems to me that there should be no "protected classes." We're all either protected equally, or we're not. It seems to me that every violent crime has some element of "hate" to it, there doesn't need to be any special enhancement, IMO.

It almost seems unconstitutional: you are basically getting punished twice for the same crime.

Hate Crime Laws - YouTube

I'm not sure why these aren't embedding any longer...
 
So...would every barroom brawl between sister services be a hate crime? You probably wouldn't start throwing 'bows if they weren't Marines, you know?
 
That is simply a law to make someone feel more *special* than someone else and cause an ever greater rift between people than what already exists. Hate crimes was one of the worst pieces of legislation to ever be created in my lifetime. We - as Americans - are our absolute worst enemies when it comes to creating our own *issues.*
