Fair enough, if you attack someone for that reason you deserve to have the book thrown at you.
Doesn't mean you would be charged under the hate crime if you bash a gay person though does it? So long as it isn't for them being gay and another reason?

Well that seems fair.
Do people do organized hate crimed assaults on gay people?
Does yelling out "I'm going to bash you, you bloody queer" as you're attacking them for something unrelated like them keying your car make you liable for a hate crime?
Seems to hard to judge unless there's specific anti-gay bashing groups roaming around causing havoc.

Murder is Murder.
My Uncle was a Defense Attorney for many years, and an unprovoked murder is "cold-blooded murder", and usually carries a rather high sentence (depending on state, Prosecutor, Jury and Judge) no matter what crazy motivation behind it was.
A woman killed by her husband, who caught her cheating on him in his bed, in the state of Texas, will get a lot less of a sentence than some stranger who just decided to kill you on the street.

I don't believe all assaults are equal.
If you go around assaulting strangers with no provocation for things like sexual orientation, race, religion etc, I believe you're a big danger to society.
As opposed to say someone that committs an assault because you insulted his GF.

I'm a fair minded person, but the 'hate crime' legislation generates too many potential fail-spots, pigeon holes, and loopholes, not to mention abuse; ex. if a gay man is beaten up for pissing off a straight guy, instead of normal fair sentencing, the gay man can say it was a 'hate crime'. I think the problem lies more in the judicial system than legislation... Judges need to be reviewed more strictly and kicked off the bench if they're obviously handing out ludicrous sentences.
My 2 cents.

Chubba, I feel you, but in court, an attorney could argue that insulting his girlfriend was provoking and even assault whereas beating someone for being gay, was unprovoked. The hate crime law is just not necessary because a sensible court will be able to decipher the differences.

I have to disagree, why cant the guy and his GF just walk away
if the guy assaults the GF is it an assault if the BF retaliates, I'd hope that decision would be no as he was doing it in defense of another that was less capable of fending off an attacker but when words are all that's considered provocation then the guy committing the assault needs to be jailed

So you're saying that the laws simply shouldn't exist and the judge/jury would fairly decide on each individual basis? We don't hear of hate crimes much in Australia, so I'm not sure what peanlities apply.
Quote:

He can walk away, the guy is most definitely in the wrong for assaulting someone in response for a verbal attack and should be sentenced accordingly.
If I was judge though and you put these 2 scenarios in front of me, the guy who chose to assault someone based on their "xyz" with no provocation would get the harsher penalty.
Surely you don't believe they're equal?

violence is violense, 'fighting words' are nothing more than an arrempt to provoke the idiots to respond, if you're too stupid to walk away then you're really too stupid to live but the unfortunate fact of the matter is that we cant go around executing people because they're stupid
so here's the scenario, some black fella calls me cracker or honkey, I in return call him the N word, he gets froggy and gets his ass beat when he tries to assault me, should it be a hate crime for either of us, should the sentence be less severe since it started with an exchange of words... who should get charged, me, him, both?

Well put it this way Pris.
Someone randomly attacks you in the street for no reason. Someone attacks you for being gay.
I believe both deserve the same penalty, the fact that he's attacking you for being gay isn't what I believe makes the crime particularly strong, it's just the attack with no provocation.
Quote:

I believe once the words were exchanged the hate crime goes out of the equation.
I have a feeling that's not how it works though and the fact that you yelled out nigger wouldn't work in your favour.

I don't know about that (sexual orientation), but there's definitely cases of race/religion where you can clearly tell that was the primary reason.
There was groups in Australia that go around specifically assaulting minority groups, nothing personal, complete strangers, oftens it's little weak international university students that get caught up in the crossfire.

these sorts of laws promote racism and discrimination against certain ethnicities

Nop, in that case the white person always gets screwed.
It's minorities assaulting minorities though, white folks are rarely involved.
Whether it's lebanese vs vietnamese vs arabs vs sudanese etc. Australia has shitty immigration laws so we have large amounts of shitty foreign people that can't assimilate.

on the hate crime website it explicitly mentions the percentages and statistics of hate crimes against "whites."
it also goes by perceived race. if someone thinks im something that i am not and thats the reason, then it goes by that.

They'll just have to settle for targeting the majority.
Quote:
:Under questioning, Attorney Gen. Holder was surprisingly forthright in admitting that the hate bill is not intended to protect everyone, or even the majority. He said only historically oppressed minorities were to benefit. This means Jews, blacks, homosexuals, women, etc. Holder made it clear that if a white Christian male, including a serviceman or police officer, was the victim of a violent hate crime by any minority he would have to find redress from traditional law. He could not avail himself of the triple penalties and rapid government/justice system response given a protected minority."
These catastrophic admissions were extracted by Senators Sessions (R-AL) and Coburn (R-OK). The webcast of the Hearings is here (on right) and the relevant passages are 58.30-61 minutes (Sessions) and 71.30-5 minutes (Coburn).
Holder made it plain that he is seeking legal privileges for certain groups based on what he told Senator Sessions was
