That’s false, labeling it a hate crime increases the penalties if found guilty and can cause the justice system of police investigations and AG prosecution to prioritize resources in obtaining a conviction.
But why?
Do you think resources to solve and prosecute crimes is unlimited?
No but I do know that if there is a mass shooting at a store and a diverse group of people are affected, it will be treated just as seriously as a racist one. It may not receive as much press, but prosecutors will put in all their resources in both cases.

Your bio says you are a Protestant. Imagine if there lots of people looking to kill Protestants. Would that concern you? Would that cause fear in your life if a few dozen Protestants had been murdered at various church meetings in your neighborhood.
It would concern me and cause fear. That doesn't mean it should be labeled as a hate crime though. The people who were killing or conspiring to kill protestants should be put on a trial and if found guilty, punished, just like any other criminal. But labeling an idea or act of violence a "hate crime" doesn't do anything. I wouldn't feel better if the governor came out and said "we've had a terrible series of hate crimes recently". I would want to know how the government is holding these people accountable. Sticking labels on crimes doesn't solve anything.

Funny how when Sidewalker linked a video to TYT you said nothing, but all the sudden when Matt comes up, you call him unreliable. What are you so afraid of? He was reporting on the news of the subway, just like every other media outlet at the time.

Well since you are obviously too lazy to be bothered to do a 20 minute google search, allow me to enlighten you. "Archie Tse, The New York Times graphics editor who made the choice when the Times published its first color presidential election map in 2000, provided a nonpolitical rationale for retaining the red–Republican link, explaining that "Both 'Republican' and 'red' start with the letter 'R.'" As you can see, the color red being associated with republicans is a relatively recent phenomenon. As a matter of fact, in 2014, the Californian republican party was the first to choose it's ow color, rather than the historic tration of the media choosing it for them. It chose blue. Unfortunately for you, this was not nearly as much of a stumper as you would have expected. 😁

Also you probably don't realize this, but hate crimes are unfairly reported against white people and are often not reported in cases of black hate crimes.
Here is an example that I;m sure you won't look at.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpjIYACl3s0

Killing a police officer is more destructive to society because there is one less person out there keeping the peace and because they purposely put themselves in harms way to protect people. A terrorist attack is considered so bad because most terrorist attacks involve IEDs or other explosions and are used as publicity stunts. Why are hate crimes so much worse than normal crimes?
Created:
That’s not true. The biggest death tolls are in red states.Florida, Texas, South Carolina are stacking up the bodies in hate crimes.
prove it. Send me an article with proof that more people are being murdered in red states. And the fact on whether crimes are labeled hate crimes is irrelevant. If you attack or kill someone yes you should be punished for that, but why does it matter what you were feeling in your heart? What does that have to do with the punishment? All that matters is that you hurt someone and you are now being punished for it.
Before you had to be a trained killer to murder a bunch of people with a bladeNow any idiot can do it in 2 minutes with an assault weapon
How would you need to be a trained murderer? All you would have to do is grab a sword, walk into a store, and outrun people. We know you don't have to be an expert to kill people with a knife because people do it more by knife than they do firearm.

You are correct in stating the high profile shootings. However through the topic of the forum it would appear you are implying the issue is worse in Florida. This is simply not true. They are happening just as must in red states and blue states the only difference is the fatalities tend to be higher in blue states because less people are carrying guns to immediately stop the threat. For example the mall shooting in Indiana or the church shooting in Texas.

I agree. People have killed each other way before guns existed. Just look at all the assassinations and wars in medieval Europe. With weapons in the hands of civilians sure there will be tragedies, but without them there will be genocides.

Vivek claims to be Hindu, however he follows a belief and moral system more similar to Christianity. It doesn't matter what he calls himself, he follows Christian morals more closely than Hindu.
And yes, I mean one out of 340 million committed a racist shooting. How unexpected because of course we know that would never happen in a blue area (Buffalo NY)

You can’t be hindu if you have the beliefs of Christian’s. They are monotheistic

First of all Vivek is Christian, maybe you should listen to what he has to say before you make statements about him. Also one shooting in Florida and now crime is out of control? What about the countless rapes robberies and murders that happen in St Luis Chicago and San Francisco?

The Trump has added a lot of debt because he was building the wall and dealing with Covid. Biden has added to the debt because why? He's been giving out welfare? Funding studies on if Thanoes could really snap his fingers? Funding abortions? Giving parents money to have their kids body parts chopped off? See the problem here? Trump may have added more to the national debt, but its apples to oranges because he was trying to deal with a pandemic. Same with The unemployment and GDP. Also funny how those stats you mentioned are from the pandemic, not the three successful years before it. Inflation was low and unemployment was high because of the pandemic. Do you understand what that is? Do you understand how it effects the economy?

There were no laws after the war banning the purchase or use of a cannon according to https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/06/28/bidens-false-claim-that-2nd-amendment-bans-cannon-ownership/ https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/06/30/fact-check-could-individuals-own-cannons-during-revolutionary-war/113951468/ and https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/apr/12/joe-biden/joe-biden-recycles-false-claim-second-amendment
To the implication that everyone who passed the constitution was racist, do you realize that every country to have ever existed (expect maybe the Koreas and other recently created countries) have used slaves? the only difference between the US and other countries is that between the time the Constitution was passed and when we passed our first anti slavery law, there was only an elapsed time of 7 years. That's way shorter than any other country that used slaves and actually goes to show how radically anti slave our founding fathers were at the time. LMK if you want me to set up a debate on this.

Biden is just as much of a liar as Trump. He has said that you couldn't own a cannon in colonial days, The “average tax” for billionaires is “about 3%,” which is “a lower tax than a schoolteacher or a firefighter. Beau Biden died fighting in the middle east, the price of gas is lower than when he took office, the economy is booming, gun manufacturers have immunity from lawsuits, he got arrested as a youth protesting civil rights, the second amendment has limited the type of weapon you could own since it's passing, the cost of an automobile is back to what it was before the pandemic, the border is secure, says he was the first person to call for invoking the national defense production act, no presidents elected before Trump were racist, said Trump if elected would go out and carpet bomb the middle east, said the US looses 3000 people to cancer per day and that general motors is the largest cooperation in the world. Shall I list more?
