Steve it's frustrating when you do a drive by post like this because when you're countered you don't respond with a second post usually. If you ~promise~ to keep responding in this thread until the issue is worked out I'll debate you on it. Feeling game?

Why should there be a federal criminal law on hate crimes again? And you want to give those special individuals the task of protecting you against violent crime WHY EXACTLY?

If your best friend was assulted because he was gay, you'd prefer making a federal case against the perpetrator regarding the crime versus going to your county D.A. and police department?

Please, gentlemen spell out more clearly your confidence in the federal criminal justice system. I happen to think that's a terrible problem with a federal hate crimes bill..... perhaps its fatal flaw.... the same fatal flaw behind federal drug laws, or other federal crimes (carjacking).

But why should that stop today's emotional ejacutaion "Outrage of the Day" ?
