As long as they charge someone who fakes a hate crime( Like Jussie Smollett did) with being a white supremacist and they get the same punishment as actual white supremacists, I'm okay with stiffer penalties.
Judges/juries have always had the ability to consider motivation in awarding punative damages. No separate category of hate crime has ever been needed.
The replies so far seem to gloss over, or avoid considering this to be a landmark case? I believe it will prove to have lasting historical & legal significance.
That is not to say the decision will not be appealed.
So when does anybody take action against the bombings and shootings at ICE offices and personnel? When does anyone take action against the harassment and abuse of police officers? Or abuse of any conservatives for that matter?
The answer is never. The radical fanatical unhinged left will be allowed to continue with their hypocritical behavior with the support of the biased media and the radical leftists in Congress with their actions largely ignored.
National Civil Rights Organization Wins Lawsuit Against Daily Stormer and White Supremacists Engaging in Online Threats and Harassment
In a landmark decision, court rules that hateful online trolling can constitute interference with the equal enjoyment of public accommodations.
"This ruling is historic in that it marks the first time that a court has deemed racist online trolling activity that can interfere with one’s equal access to a public accommodation. The Court’s ruling recognizes the real-world damage done when bigots take to the internet to target and threaten African Americans and other people of color,” said Kristen Clarke, President and Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “This ruling should send a strong message to other white supremacists that they can and will be held accountable for hateful activity that constitutes unlawful discrimination, no matter whether it occurs online or in the real world.”
It seems legally dubious, to say the least. Moreover, I'm not sure this is the kind of precedent the Left should be hoping to set when 99% of the time the shoe is on the other foot.
It wasn't a "landmark decision". It was a default judgment.
