Re: Nick West
Indeed. And you are just as dead whether they call it a "hate crime" or not. I don't know what good it does to invent labels like that - murder is murder.

Exactly. I've yet to see or hear of a "love crime"

Re: Nick West
Probably just a "feel good" measure by lawmakers unless they can impose higher penalties for "hate" crimes.

Re: Nick West
Because the terminology sells readers and that's what news has become. Sensationalized half truths.

Re: Nick West
So was it just some random murder? Had nothing to do with the suspect hating or disliking his lifestyle? I can almost guarantee it wasn't because he caught him sleeping with his wife |

Re: Nick West
Hate crime, in my understanding, is when you commit a crime against somebody because of their lifestyle or skin colour, or beliefs.

Re: Nick West
Well, they do speak of "crimes of passion" - close enough.
