When Republican House members inquired as to why veterans were not included in order to prevent hate crimes against them, which are on the rise if you are on-board with the government's definition of "hate crime", Democratic congressmen shot the notion down as preposterous. They even went so far when Republican Rep. Steve King offered an amendment to the bill that would not allow pedophiles to have special protection as to deem it "unnecessary and inflammatory" as stated by Democrat Tammy Baldwin (WI).
Without the bill even having been passed yet, it is being taken to extremes that really show how people will reach and do reach with these types of laws. Below is an excerpt from a local newspaper demonstrating this:
Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said the perpetrator directed a gay epithet at the victim, who was dancing, and then punched him to the ground.
“[The incident] could be a potential hate crime because [the victim] was attacked because he was perceived as being gay,” Verveer said.
Verveer, who confirmed the victim was a University of Wisconsin student, said the victim is not gay. Also, because the 21-year-old’s nose was broken, the perpetrator, if caught, could be charged with felony substantial battery.
No question is this a crime, but if this is a hate crime then it's easy to see how there could be no end to civil suits with a bill of this manner.
