can you provide a link to that law?
i'd like to read it before i trash it.
but, from the way you've presented it...it does sound a bit disturbing.
as far as our own hate crime laws...kuru pretty much hit it on the head. murder is murder...i really don't see the relevance of a motive in performing a crime...i won't even go into 'insanity defense'.

The hate crime law in the US or the one that CK referenced?
There's currently a Bill in the Senate and a Resolution in the House regarding federal hate crimes that just lost a 'fast track' vote (Senate voted 56 - 43 in favor of fast tracking, fell short of the required 60 votes).
If passed it would be put to Pres. Bush to sign.
I heard about this one on the morning radio news... unfortunately don't have a link, but you might be able to search for it at www.house.gov

And we all know he can't read, so -who knows- what would have happened?

<mod hat on>
At this time we would like to open the floor for comments pertinent to the topic that do not contain personal insults.
If you want to debate Pres. Bush's intelligence, start a thread for it. But remember that it's not open season for insults. If you call the guy a dumb motherfucker, you better have some proof.
