People like this make me sick.
I certainly hope that the police and prosecutors are successful in getting the killer.
Rep. Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, called on Washington to pass a bill that would extend the federal law on hate crimes to cover offenses targeting people because of sexual orientation.
In some states that might seem needlessly redundant. For Massachusetts getting the Federal government to do the job may be what it takes for a capital crime to bring an adequate sentence.
Very very sad...........
:kaioken: :(
Very much agreed. :(Quote:

Because they're constantly all over the news for killing people, right?
Many of the Neo-Nazis have a religion called "Christian Identity", which is a highly distorted derivative of Christianity. It is described pretty well at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Identity
Every mainstream Christian demonination regards the Christian Identity Movement as thoroughly fake Christianity. All the Biblical prohibitions against crimes like the recent one in New Bedford are wasted on the Christian Identity Movement, whose main purpose seems to be to rationalize their way around those behavior standards.
There's actually a strong argument against this, for two reasons. The first is from conservatives who insist that orientation shouldn't be protected, because listing it would give it 'credibility.' (My personal opinion is that these people are crazy.) I can understand the second argument, though: if there's a brutal attack on someone because of their race, is that really any worse than a brutal attack on someone because, say, they were wearing the wrong colors or whtanot? There shouldn't be certain 'categories' of people that you get penalized for attacking more.Quote:

Neo-Nazi people even hates Christians because of their view toward racial equality.
Sadly, there are a few Christians who have Neo-Nazi attitudes.
I kind of have some doubts about the value of hate crime laws at the felony level. Beating, maiming, and killing people because of their race, enthnicity, sexual orientation, or whatever kind of group identity is nasty. So is doing so to someone for the change in his pocket or a combination of homicidal whim and random victim vulnerability. The penalties should be harsh for any of those motives. In some states it is, in some states it isn't. Massachusetts may be a state that needs to ask the Federal government to do the prosecution to keep itself from paroling guys like Robida.
I think hate crime laws may have more value at the misdemeanor level. It seems like there should be a harsher penalty for painting "Kill the ______s!" on a big rock than for painting "A loves B", or "Hooray for our team!".
Police have now accomplished their part of that; he's been arrested in Arkansas. A police officer and a still-unidentified woman who reportedly was a passenger in the suspect's car were killed in an exchange of gunfire; the suspect, Jacob D. Robida was wounded.Quote:

In about ten years or so, when Arkansas is preparing to execute Robida, liberals may be feeling a bit conflicted as they recall his crimes in Massachusetts.
This guy should burn. Grrrr. Although such behaviour happen all the time online, even here at WHT...
Huh? We're talking about a guy who started attacking people with a hatchet. People sometimes get angry with each other here, but I'm not sure there's much physical violence. (And I've never seen any intolerance based on race, orientation, etc., either.)Quote:

If you can tell me how to bury a hatchet in someone's head via the internet, I'm interested in subscribing to your newsletter.Quote:

As I mentioned earlier, he has been caught. Recent reports say he was shot twice in the head by police, and killed a police officer. A woman who was a passenger in his car was killed -- the local prosecutor says that the suspect shot her, but police so far have not confirmed that and said more investigation is necessary to determine how she was shot.Quote:

yah - that would cut down on stupid help desk questions :uzi:Quote:

He considered the possibility of using Norse mythology as a state religion, but he pretty much scrapped the idea.Quote:
