    Deidra - You never need to ask my permission to use anything you find on my blogs...

    Woozie - Only one at this point. I'm uncertain the reason for not charging the others as well..

    Why have hate crime laws if they are so hard to prove?

    You have to be standing next to the victim with a knife in your hand holding a sign with a racial slur on it; with your DNA splattered all over the victim's body, before the federal government will declare it a hate crime.

    Oh, I forgot, you must over the age of 17 while doing it, too.

    Mrs. Grapevine - I have to plead ignorance to the hate crime process...
