Hate Crimes Are Just Worse

A female athlete in South Africa is gang raped, beaten, stabbed 25 times and killed, and people get all worked up…because she was a lesbian and they are upset that lesbians are being raped to “cure” them of homosexuality.

I guess, according to these people, that it would have been much better if the woman raped, beaten, and stabbed to death had been a heterosexual.

That’s the logical conclusion of labeling some crimes as “hate crimes” and attempting to label them as “worse” than “ordinary” crimes.

If A is worse than B, then it has to follow that B is better than A.

Many sensible people over the years have been making this argument (that labeling some crimes as "hate crimes" is an injustice), but it falls on deaf ears of those who are staunch lefties. Too bad.
