Finally! We waited so long for this. Would you mind if I cross post this on my blog?
Only one?
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..
Well, at least that is a start.
Regina - Yes...the first step of a long journey...
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...
