| rocketpig said: No, you're prosecuting them for an idea. If a person is raped, the perp is prosecuted and punished for that crime. But if that person is a Klan member and rapes a black woman, that person is punished MORE. How is that NOT the prosecution of an idea? If the act is heinous (such as torture), the person is usually punished more harshly for the lack of remorse and cruel nature of the crime. If the person is a repeat offender, the punishment is more harsh the second or third time around. The only difference here is the idea of why the crime was committed. |
Yes, and the ideea matters, I never said otherwise. However he's being prosecuted for his actions, his motives being criteria used to determine how dangerous the individual is.
