    You’re right, I haven’t given you enough time to move away down there at the bottom

    Also, to reiterate another posters point: hate crime laws and hate speech laws are very different things.

    The first one increases penalties for things already considered crimes, the second one criminalizes previously legal actions.

    You’d have to be pretty brain dead to use those two concepts interchangeably, or to justify each other (which they often are)

      The bill covers both hate speech and hate crimes. Which aspects of the bill do you take issue with? I personally don’t think it should be legal to incite violence against people of a protected class. I didn’t realize that was such a hot take.
