| Smidlee said: Is there really any difference between "hate-hunting" and "witch-hunting"? Once a person is marked a witch ... I meant, with a hate-crime or racist do they have any kind of defense? I have a bad feeling that once someone is "marked" they are guilty until proven innocent.

A huge difference.
1. Racists/homophobes exist and cause harm to others, witches don't.
2. Beign racist/homophobic is bad, being a witch is not.
3. How do you mean "marked"? It's very hard to prove someone commited a hate crime, and in most cases the people accused as such get off, because the prossecution couldn't prove they acted out of hate. For something to be hate crime it has to be an unlawfull action of a person upon a victim, the motivation being the victim's race/religion/gender/sexual orientation etc., something which is not always easy to proove.
