Re: Hate Crime Legislation
[ QUOTE ]
Please expand.
Do you think terrorist murder is not a hate crime? Or is it a hate crime but not the hate crime of a KKK member on a minority? What is the difference?
[/ QUOTE ]
The main difference is that terrorist crimes usually have a large number of simultaneous victims. I'm not interested in using emotional terms in defining the crime.

Should there be special laws to deal with terrorist attackers when they are arrested? Alleged terrorists should be handled differently then alleged baby killers?
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't have a problem with terrorism laws. The crimes of blowing up a plane, hijacking a bus, dispersing chemical weapons over a city, or other mass-terror crimes are clearly different than shooting a guy in a robbery or killing a single baby.

Suspected terrorists should be guilty until proven innocent?

Yeah. Put some words in people's mouths. This is a really intellectually lazy and reprehensible debate tactic. I'm adjusting your credibility level downward accordingly.
