It's clearly stated in the laws where you draw the line.


I guess since I am a straight, white male that doesn't make me special enough if someone beat the shit out of me to prosecute them even more than the original crime.   I say charge the person with what crime they commit.  To tack on hate crimes in some cases is pure bs such as charging teenagers that vandalize a Synagogue with a hate crime. 

Well, if someone beat you up for being a straight white male, then it would surely be a hate crime. Motive is a factor when deciding how to punish a criminal. And I'm quite sure teenagers who would vandalize a Synagogue would be antisemites, and probably skin heads. Of course their act would be a hate crime.
