No teens use the teen centers anyway because they hire lame people who are most likely the people who didnt go to school after graduating high school and are not really great role models anyway. Does anyone remember the dock? That place tanked because no one used it anymore. too lame!!!

your ignorance is so apparent when you just write everything off to us being “goofy liberals”. Im not liberal. Mr TaiChi, you would not be charged with a hate crime because your intentions were not to hurt someone based upon one of those categories. Plus a gay man is going to know that you are not gay and they dont just run around slapping behinds. I dont think you have to worry. Also JLM it is a little unfair of you to compare liberals to grouse or geese, going and shooting people because your an ignorant person isn't cool anymore, it never really was anyway.

IF the gay guy did nothing to anyone else, they only beat him because they hate gays and he is around, it should be a different crime. We should protect people in general for their specific traits that make them individuals when people kill, stab, beat or whatever them because of and only because of those traits.

First of all, not all crimes are committed with malice bub. Some are committed from boredom and bad parenting, like vandalism, or shop lifting. Secondly, it is a greater crime if a black guy stabs you because your white. Yes a lot of crimes of are committed because of hate and thus it would be ridiculous to make a separate category, but some crimes exceed normal hatred and are committed because people are different, no other reason. Those should and do now have a category. It would be a bigger version of someone saying that anyone with the initials JLM should get the you know what beaten out of them, no other details of their life should be taken into account except their initials. You would say that isn't fair. Well a white guy shouldn't be beaten for being white, and a gay guy shouldn't be beaten for his sexual orientation.

Number 1, I am a republican, and which party I mostly associate is erroneous on all accounts. If a black guy stabs you because you are a whitey, then you better believe that it will be prosecuted as a hate crime. Stop writting off hate crimes as the child of liberals simply because it goes over your head. I know it is hard to understand that people commit crimes with malice in their hearts, but trust me it happens.

Also captain Rae and the steamboat police department do as good of a job as they can. Think about how many parents urge kids to think about people in a certain way, then when the kids go out and follow the ignorance of their parents, the parent do everything they can to silence and cover up whatever happened. Maybe the next time you hear a joke about black people or a joke about how wide women's mouths are, you should tell the person who told it to go to hell. So until you are doing all you can to promote equality, don't give the police department a hard time. “Even laughing at sexist, or racist joke promotes or reinforces the feelings that that person has about telling it. This makes them tell it more.” Just think about it.

Yeah but a hate crime is given the title of “hate crime” when it is performed with a racial motivation. When it is premeditated based upon the victims race, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. then it should have a special catagory. White guys don't stab white guys because they are white, and the same for black guys.

Good for this guy. It is a sad thing to know that most adults really have a hard time understanding or really don't care to understand. Conformity to convenience is ruining our world.
