You have to prove that a hate-crime is racially motivated. It's easy to prove a hate crime against skinhead gangs, because they are openly racist.
I've gotten jumped by 5 guys before and I have jumped people with a bunch of friends before,(when I was in High School), nobody ever got any permanent damages and nobody pressed charges. It's part of growing up.
If the roles were reversed and six white kids were looking at 100 years for beating a black kid, then you would be crying that the punishment is too harsh for a 16 yr old kid. Would that be just?
yes i would because of the double standard. I in no way condone getting a group of people to attack one person no matter what color, it is very cowardly. how do you know they would get 100 yrs, is that the sentence for a hate crime
