Most of us have heard about the murder of Jazmine Barnes. As a parent I can only begin to feel the horror such an event would generate in me. The murderer needs to pay.
What is even more sad is the racial politics being employed. Since it has been discovered that the murderer was a black man instead of a white man that is supposed to make it less brutal. Suddenly it is not a “hate crime”, whatever that is, but just a shooting.
We need to discard this hate crime nonsense. Of course it was a hate crime. That is what murder is. You don’t shoot a seven year old child because you love her. You don’t attack people to show your affection. Of course it is hate. We are allowed to hate. We are not allowed to murder. The crime is in the killing, not the emotion.
I hate liver. That does not mean I can break into a meat market and attack the display. I hate mosquitos. That does not give me the right to get a flamethrower and start shooting it off at the picnic. I hate hypocrisy. That does not give me the right to burn down the houses of all the Democrats in the neighborhood.
Crime is crime. It is behavior. Stop making it worse by trying to attack a color. A child died. The villain should be prosecuted because he killed not because of race.
Grow up America.

The "hate crime" designation is merely a way for the accuser to engage in racism while pretending the opposite.
