Are hate crimes justifiable?
If it was a white or an Hispanic man jogging in a nice neighborhood and he looked "suspicious", would they have done the same?
Only by the defense. This is the article from last year: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ty/3096389001/
The fucking morons posted the pursuit and murder on Youtube:

I say not, but then I haven't been to the Biden/Harris Reeducation Camp in the California desert.
Probably not. OTOH, hard to believe these fucking morons lived in an upper middle-class neighborhood. Did they all have wives who were doctors while they worked on their cars and drank beer?

Any idea on what the differences are in sentencing?
The Georgia laws were passed because of Arbery:

The Arbery killing spurred Georgia lawmakers to pass a state hate crime law in June 2020, The Associated Press reported, allowing additional charges to be brought in cases where the victim’s race, gender, religion or other factors made them a target, or in some way motivated the crime.

As if chasing someone down and murdering them didn't carry a hefty enough sentence.

Arbery was jogging alone Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Georgia, when two white men, Travis McMichael, 35, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 65, confronted him, claiming he was a thief. Travis McMichael shot Arbery three times with a shotgun, according to police.
On video, no less.
EDIT: This is how the trial will basically go down:
