Equal Treatment???

[pirateron]

Here's 2 stories with basically the same content. In the first, no charges are filed. In the second, 2 are arrested.

Does this make any sense?

Nope. Of course, it's not possible to commit a 'hate crime' against us white folk is it?

[ByAnyMeans]

Sounds about right, white people can only be racist and commit hate crimes because "we da man" and it's unthinkable that a minority could have a hateful thought. Yea, I think it's bullshit also.

I'm going to say " This is TOTAL BS"

How can 1 be a "hate crime" and the other not.....

Agreed. They are both free speech, both are offensive, and neither one should be a crime.

Agreed but the college kids are also charged with burglary and theft by unlawful taking. If it is a fair and just world, *sigh*, the disorderly conduct charge (opening wounds of racial tension, I am assuming) will be dropped.

So they are thieves, not a hate crime.

Yes, that was the difference I saw between the two stories. They should not be charged with the disorderlyconduct/hate crime.

I agree, but a hate crime??????????
Those alternate life-style folks in CA ,should have the hate crime charges.
If everything was "equal".
