and then people wonder why kids bring guns to school. Kid should go to the gym and next time put that ass in a headlock till he passes out and step on his face.

 

woudnt know if i would consider this race related though... there was other white kids on the bus. b

man the law is so fucked up. If a gay guy gets beat up its a hate crime. If a black guy gets beat up by a white guy its a hate crime. This is the first time I've actually heard of it being racially motivated when it was a white guy getting beat up and I think it's just as stupid now as it was when heard about the other "hate crimes" involving people of other races. Even if the one commiting the crime isn't racist or homophobic they can still get charged with a hate crime... it's stupid.

Welcome to the wonderful world of hate crimes legislation. It seeks to empower certain groups of people into an elite status.

This is why it's retarded. It perverts the law into a tiered structure showing favoritisms. That's kind of against the fairness of law, no? Everyone is a minority in some way, but we should all get the same judicial treatment. Murder is murder. Punches are punches. It doesn't matter who threw them for why, but the fact that it happened should be the only thing measure of how the law should be applied.
