No kidding. ANYONE can be the victim of a hate crime. Doesn't matter who you are, where you were born, what skin color you have, whether you're a theist or atheist, sexual orientation, disabled/hale, whatever. Anyone.

The ignorant concept of "reverse discrimination" or the perceived untouchable status of self based on majority race, gender, whatever drives me insane. I have investigated cases of discrimination from every race to every race, religion/religion, gender/gender, etc.

And if anyone thinks hate crimes can't affect you, then you must not have a wife, sister, mother, daughter, girlfriend, because a fair chunk of such crimes are perpetrated against women because (drumroll....) they're women. No other reason. Console your female relative/wife/child after a hate-crime rape and tell me it's a made up law.

Maybe you're just remembering the pranks you pulled on roommates/house mates in college. I pulled pranks on my roommates a lot, and they got me right back. All that was just college shenanigans, and I think most folks pull that kind of crap when they're in college. You weren't trying to be horrible or harassing or whatever, and I would bet that this Ravi guy was (most likely) feeling the same way - he just wanted to screw with his roommate. This was different, though. And right or wrong, the fact that the guy committed suicide afterward makes it a bigger deal.

Yes you're right. I would've just pennied the door while he was inside, put about a half a pound of cayenne pepper on a piece of paper, slid it under the door a bit and used hairdryer to blow it in.

The amount of stupidity in this statement boggles the mind.



Wow, you just continue to stupify. I'm 54, dipshit, so I'm not young. And although I am indeed White and straight, great job in automatically assuming that I'm White (I'm sure all Blacks and Hispanics look at homosexuality with the highest regard). And speaking of "wake up", before you shoot you mouth off about Whites never being victims of bias, bigotry, or dscrimination, try living in Hawaii or and Asian country for a while...you'll be in for a rude awakening.

Listen, man, I'm an EEO Investigator. I've seen stuff that'll turn your hair gray, so don't come at me with your tough-guy crap. You've got NOTHING that I haven't seen before, first-hand. Nothing.

I really hate to break it to you Mili, but every single crime out there is "made-up."

Which is why shooting and killing you is also a "made up " crime.


I'm guilty of a crime if I shot you randomly for fun.

I'm not guilty of a crime if I shot you randomly for fun - but I was insane at the time.

I'm guilty of a crime if I shot you after I broke into your house.

I'm not guilty of a crime if I shot you after you broke into my house.

I'm guilty of a crime if I shot you after you broke into my house - but you then tried to leave and had your back to me when I fired.

I'm not guilty of a crime if I shot you after you broke into my house - but you then tried to leave and had your back to me - but I thought you were going for a gun I had out in the room you were entering.

I'm subject to the death penalty if I shot you - and you died - and you happened to be a police officer.

I'm not subject to the death penalty if I shot you - and you died - and you happened to be a plumber.


We "make up" this [Mark May] all the time. They call it legislation. So while you certainly may criticize the rationale and purpose justifying that particular statute's enactment (which is largely just what society deems as correct at any given point in time), it is no different than any other criminal law that is "made up" by the legislature and enacted into the criminal code.

Is shooting a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on a crime?

Yep. This is what societies do.

I notice you ignored the blouse comments. You're suspect.

Are there any considerations for love crimes? You know, like when I slap my girlfriend because I love her?

Onlly kidding. She fell down the stairs.

I couldn't figure out a witty response to the blouse comment, so I ignored it and hoped it would go unnoticed. No such luck.

The only love crimes I know about happen in special dungeons and cost $300 an hour. And there's vinyl involved. Lots and lots of vinyl.

See this is where it gets murky for me. I mean, every case is then different...shooting an armed person while breaking into my house is justified, but is shooting a person who breaks into my house but then runs away in women's underwear farting while jerking off and eating a tangerine? And is that considered a protected special interest group? This shit is too complicated for me.
