    I wonder (time will tell) if killing a random person is some kind of gang initiation? If so, how could bopping a tard when their back is turned proves you have "the right stuff?" Oh, that's right.....it would prove you're a cowardly shitbag, just like every gang member.

    It wasn't robbery. Mistaken identity? Revenge on this guy would be unlikely. What was it?

    Any bets some shitbag lawyer tries the "a baseball bat isn't really a weapon....it's a piece of sports equipment" defense?

    Back when trucker Reginald Denny was beaten by a mob and left brain damaged, one of the thugs lawyers used the "bricks are building materials, not deadly weapons" defense.

    Senseless.

    I hope the murdering bastard gets what he deserves, in this life and the next.

    The story at the link says the motive hasn't been determined. What makes this a hate crime?

    The batter was Hispanic, so hate crime could never be a factor.
    As far as hate crimes, they are bullshit anyway. Hate me all you want, I'll recover, but a crushed skull really grinds my gears.

    Really? I've never heard much about hate crimes, period. We have crime up the ass around here, but I've never heard a "hate crime" mentioned.

    I would think it's almost impossible to prove. I'm just saying society as a whole seems to give minorities a pass on ethnic slurs more often. My daughter's been called whitey and cracker many times.

    It is here.

    "Blood in, blood out." (You gotta kill somebody to get in and you only get out of the gang when you're dead).

    If you go to fbi.gov and find the report on hate crimes there, you'll see that minorities are suspected as the culprits in hate crimes frequently.

    That's a rather bad example. Going berserk when you find your wife in bed with another man isn't a "hate crime" it's more like "normal". There is a range of reactions that fall within "normal" as far as walking in on adultery-in-progress goes, which range from non-violent anger, up to impulsive "crime of passion" killing. All pretty common.

    On the other hand, some people go rather OTT. Like this guy.

    Dunno, there's a kind of poetic justice in this.

    We could get a radar gun and see how fast they throw them. I'm betting a testicle can exceed 90 MPH, but will probably tend to curve.
