the notion that if you shoot a black man who you find fucking your wife is the same level of crime as pulling a black man from his home and hanging him from a tree in front of his family because he dared to "act up" is nonsense.
There ARE hate crimes. What happened to Matthew Shepherd was NOT just a simple murder - it was an act of terrorism against ALL gay people. The effects are worse. The motive is more evil. The people who commit such crimes are greater dangers to the community at large.
