Homosexuality + Hate Crimes

[Alcon]

I believe that any random killing should be more serious. After all, what's worse: killing a little girl for fun or killing someone who was sleeping with your wife?

However, in all lesser crimes, it should also be considered. I think that any random crime is not only an indicator of psychopathic behavior, but also something that is just worse in general. This is why I also believe that the killing of animals should be treated VERY SERIOUSLY, since that is the number one indicator of serial killer behaviors.

you said nothing of killing gays alcon, your flank is exposed

If you didn't think I didn't reference killing gays, you aren't reading into my post as I intended.

Killing a gay person is a random killing. It may have some fake reasoning, but it is a random killing.

And, yes, I do know it is more serious - which is exactly why I support current legislation. In lesser crimes, though, I believe that any truly random killing (not one just of opportunity) should be punished soundly. Basically, my belief is that someone being gay does not meet the standard for an even half-reasonable excuse. Not that a bruised male ego does either, but at least psychologically it's a better excuse than "he hit on me and I'm not gay."
