Isn't it reasonable for people to disagree about that?
I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect and want hate crime prosecution. People can have a different perspective and I wouldn't think they're idiots. Unless there are details I'm not aware of, there's not much to show he raped her because she was white and wanted to get back at whitey. Why try and build that case when you have him dead to rights on rape and will put him away for a long time?

Or as one person pointed out the possible futility of hate crime laws in general?
That's a legitimate point. While I can understand the purpose, murder is murder no matter why it happened. Same thing in this case.

Well put.
I consider pretty much all violent crime to be hateful. It sure as shite isn't an act of love.
Hate crime legislation does nothing to stop hate crimes. It just makes certain liberals feel better like they did something and gives them an excuse to claim opponents of such legislation somehow support hate crimes because they refuse to support dumb hate crime laws.
