The government just made lynching a federal hate crime. |

This should have been done a long time ago. Lynching is a hate crime and should never be tolerated.

Too bad this law was passed too late to prosecute Jussie Smollett for his lynching crime. He definitely should serve the maximum 10 years in prison for his paying for the attempted lynching of a gay black man.

I agree with Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
A crime is a crime- hate is not a crime. "Hate" crimes open a can of worms. from the link, "The bill was unanimously supported by Democrats. Three Republicans — Louie Gohmert of Texas, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ted Yoho of Florida — opposed the bill, along with independent Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan. Gohmert said he supported the bill’s concept, but preferred that those accused of lynching in Texas be tried in state court, where they could face the death penalty. Massie said he opposed the expansion of federal hate-crime laws. “A crime is a crime, and all victims deserve equal justice,″ he said in a statement. ”Adding enhanced penalties for ‘hate’ tends to endanger other liberties such as freedom of speech.” " |
