A crime is a crime-and should be treated EXACTLY like every other similar crime. This destroys the concept of equal treatment under the law and should NEVER be supported!

Look at the sponsors. Will this law apply to the bias against caucasians too?

We have enough laws on the books. Now you morons want the cops and prosecutor to decide what the bad guy was thinking when he committed the crime. Better take another look at the I.Q.'s of some of these folks also. Punish the crime, not the thought.
