So if I kill you because it is some random act I should get a lighter sentence because I killed you because of who you are? Think about it from this prospective.
Court room one: A mother is sitting through a trial for the person that murdered her son. He is convicted and given 50 years to life.
Court room two: A mother is sitting through a trial for the person that murdered her gay son. He is convicted and give life without parole.
In which case was justice done? Why is the victim in court room one deserving of less justice than in court room two? I say in both cases life without parole. The reason for the killing doesn't matter what does matter is that the killing was done and the sentences should match. Hate crimes are liberals way of making themselves feel good about themselves. Think about the victims.
I am sure someone will think I am some dumb conservative that just doesn't understand because Rush Limbaugh has dulled my brain. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I value each persons life and refuse to accept that one is more precious than another's base on some made up social category.
Alright, off the soapbox.
