This just proves that there is absolutely no need for 'Hate Crime' laws in this nation but here is a situation that nobody expected, gays beating a gay and being charged a hate crime because the victim was gay. Hopefully this case will expose how flawed these 'Hate Crime' laws are. I agree that the prosecutors have jumped the gun here. Now we have this case exposing the hypocricy of it all. In this case their own Orwellian paradoxes are coming back to bite them in the a$$.
Lawyer: Lesbians’ assault on gay man can’t be hate crime - BostonHerald.com (http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20220225lawyer_lesbians_assault_on_gay_man_cant_be _hate_crime/srvc=home%26position=2 - broken link)
Three women identified by their lawyers as lesbians were arraigned yesterday on a hate crime charge for allegedly beating a gay man at the Forest Hills T station in an unusual case that experts say exposes the law’s flawed logic.
“My guess is that no sane jury would convict them under those circumstances, but what this really demonstrates is the idiocy of the hate-crime legislation,” said civil liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate. “If you beat someone up, you’re guilty of assault and battery of a human being. Period. The idea of trying to break down human beings into categories is doomed to failure.”
