You don't know human nature or anything about gang mentality or groupthink if you don't see the need for a special class of crime committed against an innocent person not because of something they have said or done but because of who they are.
There can be no end to these crimes once they start...There can be no protection for the endangered group be it women, gays or children. They can't change what they are to suit those who hate them. So they are theoretically always endanger.
If you hate a class of people, and you are violent there is no way to repair this situation. All you can change is the punishment for the crime of random hatred that results in targeted violence.
Don't harass minorities and you don't have to worry about this bill.

Multil-culturalism does not work? You really are from another planet, huh.
Maybe you should visit the United States, sometimes. Our country was based on it.

If convicted of the class 4 felony, she could be jailed for up to three years and fined as much as $25,000.
Okay this is stupid of her and she needs to be brought to jail so she understands the seriousness of this incident.
But THREE YEARS?????
That's a little, no that's very much over the top man.

People have gotten less jailtime in the UK for rape and murder than for simply yanking off a headscarf. Muslims need to stop taking themselves too seriously and take a few chill pills.

I think 3 years is justified for a felony assault. With anything racist related all the white racists come crying about how unfair the system is for them. All races get screwed over by the justice system equally around the globe so stop your whining.

There should be no jail time. There is an underlying pool of resentment toward these "minorities" and justifiably so. More and more of our rights, freedoms, and liberties are being stripped away to make this country more suitable to them.
You cannot blame the woman that did this, she is just weak minded enough to believe the crap spewed forth from the government and MSM. People are scared, people are in a panic. Whether it be the big bad terrorists or it be the common cold. This society is bludgeoned to death with fear propaganda.
They should not have arrested her, this is not an assault nor is it battery.

that's true but only whites are called racist when they complain about it.

I agree that the behaviour was wrong and uncalled for, but the penalty is grossly disproportionate to the alleged crime that was committed.
