As I read the history of the Klu Klux Klan, it was the ancient techniques of corruption, collusion, extortion, and jury tampering that protected the Klan, and not the absence of a special class of <i>thought crime</i>.

I just heard a story on it on NPR, identifying the attackers as black and the attacked as white. The chief of police opined on it as well. Race was openly acknowledged.

The law is applied in a racially discriminatory manner. Not only has no non-white ever been found guilt of committing a "hate crime", it can probably be shown that no non-white has ever been charged with a "hate crime".<br /><br />If the Supremes refuse to reverse based on that, the social contract is broken.<br /><br />Having said that, I think Dylann Roof should hang. (Hang, not sedated and pumped full of drugs.) But for what he did, not why he did it. As I think these Chicago thugs should hang. For what they did, not why they did it. The death penalty should be more widely applied and frequently applied.
