If you arrested for assault as a hate crime and found guilty you can be sure to get some jail time. A U.K. court however ordered no jail time for 4 Muslims found guilty of assaulting Jewish kids.

Back in 1994, my father, sister, and I were walking across from the Louvre by the river late in the evening. It was the end of December, and there was barely anyone around. A car drove by at a decent speed, and we suddenly heard my father cry out. Ends up that someone from the car had thrown a rotten egg and it hit him square on his upper thigh. To this day, if anything about France comes up, he says, "Those g-damn French owe me a pair of pants."

Anyway, I hope that the Jewish kids got a decent penny from those spoiled brats.

What would you say if it was your son or daughter that was hit in the face with one?

Well lordy, lordy lordy, we actually agree on something.

The European system of justice is, for better or for worse, far more lenient than the U.S. when it comes to sentencing criminal offenders. So, I'm not feeling the outrage or at least the outrage that I suppose I am supposed to be feeing.

Kids learn to hate others usually through the parents.

If children are not made an example of it is much more likely that assaults will escalate as they grow older and more bold.

I think that there should have been a greater punishment. What they were fined will just encourage violence in the streets. Maybe they should do some humiliating public service as well as a higher fine that they have to work for to pay off and that their parents cannot pay for them.
