Hate Crime?
'SHE HAD TO DIE' FOR BEING WHITE
Although I disagree with "hate crime" legislation I want to follow this story... If history is any indicator this 'animal' will not be charged with a hate crime.

I am big on successfully prosecuting a murderer for murder, an act that always involves some level of hate - IMO.
