No stupid, we do. When anyone goes before a jury for a crime like murder, the prosecution has to prove intent, which includes state of mind. That's why you have 3 degrees of murder. New classifications for various aspects of a crime periodically come along .... case in point if a pregnant woman is murdered or assaulted to the point of losing the pregnancy, the perpetrator can be accused of either one or two murders.So we don't need hate crime laws then
So tough donuts if you don't like the fact that your bigoted brethren can be nailed for doing what they do. Oh, and by the by, you have cases of non-white folk being charged with hate crimes too. Capice?
