    [​IMG] But THIS mess is viewed as justice? Pure foolishness.

    I fear this is going to keep happening and folks are really gonna get heated.

    How you gonna charge the white guy with a hate crime, but not charge the black people with a hate crime? Just beyond stupid. But the government seems to want a race war and will manipulate and maneuver to make it happen.

    Aren't there laws against assaulting a Senior Citizen?

    This fellow deserves a good jail term for hitting a helpless old man, no matter what color he was.

    I don't think I'd be any less dead if someone killed me because of my race vs wanting my money. Disregard for my life was the final factor.
    Charge them with that and get 'em off the street.
    Maybe this whole race garbage will stop if we putting everything into racial categories. ? I wonder. No more categories for crimes based on race. No more scholarships based on race. No more jobs based on race. Just human.

    They didn't charge the black thugs with a hate crime. But they charge the white thugs. Much like they ignored the black panthers intimidating people at the voting polls.

    The purpose of hate crime laws isn't justice. It's to make liberals feel good. Just like gun control laws aren't about stopping gun crime. Neither makes the faintest lick of intellectual sense. But since liberalism is an emotion based belief system, and emotions are sometimes illogical, liberals are often required to advocate nonsensical policies in order to generate their 'fix' of positive emotion. The only alternative is to abandon the belief system, which is possible but very difficult.

    The "hate crime" rider on any felony is an attempt at thought control. It pretends to assess the thinking behind the crime and punish the defendant for thinking as he does. It's just the most obvious of Orwellian thinking among socialists in power today, and as Rev pointed out, not using the rider for black-on-white crime by using it in reverse? That's racism. Real racism, not the pretend stuff the civil rights industry tries to brand with the term.

    So - would this be the thinking of a knock-out gang member:

    "Lets see, if I knock out that black guy, my sentence will be doubled - since I'm white - Okay, I will just knock out that white guy sitting next to him"

    Uh, no Zaac, drop the phrase "seems to" want a race war, they are hades bent on causing one.

    Then will come laws and subsequent fines ($$$$) and/or jail penalties for "hate" of any kind against anyone whether by thought (if they can prove it) or deed.

    Remember 1984? folks coud be charged with a hate crime based upon
    examining the books they had read or had in their possession.

    Does Genesis 18-19 qualify as "hate literature" I wonder?

    There is coming a day when the entire Bible will be classified as "hate literature" and likely outlawed.

    Very interesting because I had thought about the same thing. They are trying to cause this division so that they can seize more control.

    I mean if you've got Blacks and Whites killing each other in the streets, it becomes real easy to enact legislation that "prohibits" certain things for our "own good".

    But this is also why I believe God's people are not to take the bait and become too much a part of this back and forth left vs right, Republican vs Democrat, liberal vs Conservative ugliness which at it's core seems to be centered on latent issues of the love of money and skin color.

    We can't be the lighthouse on the hill if we're mired in the mess.

    Absolutely, our job is to pray to overcome their attempts and if not then refuse to be affected and fall pray to their hate inciting agenda.

    This will be a challenge zaac when it come knocking at our literal door or the door of our church.

    Yes very soon, pastors may have to be convicted of a hate crime and go to jail if and when they refuse to perform a same-gender "marriage".

    Back to O/P: Funny (not ha-ha) how it is that the first white on black knockouter commits a hate crime but not the scores of the preceding non-white against whites. We are not as stupid as they think.

    Its an illustration of how blinded those poor souls enslaved by the man of sin are indeed (where we were once).

    That doesn't mean we should do nothing: (you are right about being lights).

    Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.​

    The day is coming when there might be one, two, or three pairs, or just a single person sitting in the pews, who nobody in church knows, and people will be smiling and saying to themselves, "oh, goody. those visitors just walked in by themselves. no invite or anything. I hope they get 'saved' and go forward during the invitation".
    Then you see them keep coming back, until one day the preacher feels led to preach what the Bible says about homosexuality, and you look and see the "visitors" seeming to get excited, but still no "profession of faith", because they'll be back soon, with their lawyers and cops and the preacher goes to jail for hate speech and hate crime.
