what were the racial slurs?
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20...in_attack.html
so good news folks. as long as we only shout racial epithets DURING the assault and don't make any conspiratorial statements or premeditation, we won't be charged with a hate crime.HREE JUVENILES accused of assaulting a cabdriver and his passenger in Center City Saturday night while shouting racial slurs will not be charged with a hate crime, the District Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The teens, who are black, were not charged with hate crimes because there was no evidence that the assault had been motivated by the race of the victims, who are white, said Tasha Jamerson, D.A. spokeswoman. Just shouting racial epithets during the commission of a crime doesn't rise to the level of ethnic intimidation, she said.
"They just didn't have that in this case," she said. "If they had somebody who, two blocks before, heard them say, 'We're going to beat somebody up because they're white, brown or purple,' it might be different."
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

I can actually see where this is coming from, let's say you get into a barfight with an irishman and you're both yelling and swinging and totally hammered. Let's say for instance that one of the insults that comes out of your mouth is "fuckin mic potato peeling whore!" this is to avoid turning an assault charge(assuming the police show) into a hate crime charge. I agree it shouldn't be nessecary DA's should have more sense than that but really if you gget into it with a latino guy just by chance and are cursing him out as hard as you can, that's not really the same as getting two buddies together and saying, "we're gonna go out and beat the hell out of a fag" and then doing it.

One of the most common criticisms I've ever heard from conservatives about hate crime laws is an imagined scenario where a noble non-racist white male punches a hideous degenerate black piece of scum, and, in his totally justifiable passion, mutters some racial epithet which, under normal circumstances, he would never dream of uttering (he has a black friend, after all!), and is thus charged with a hate crime and sentenced to a million years in prison. Aren't you glad that this case proves this isn't so? If anything, if it had been white kids we would've never heard about this.

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

That's not what is going on here. Hate crimes come from attacking a race. These thugs were out just harassing whomever they could. Specifically stating that was the reason is what constitutes a hate crime. Are you not clear on that?
