Hate
Crimes
Although
i’ve already ranted on this topic several dozen times before, i
just can’t let go of it ! ( ! )
i
have a problem with ‘Hate Crimes’.
Essentially;
The Concept of Hate Crimes is Intended to Assign a Value of
‘Wrongness’ to A Particular Kind of Crime of Violence.
The
Problem that i have with this is ; What is Wrongness ?
How
would someone Assign a Value of Wrongness to (x ?
Adam
is walking down The Street & sees another Man ( Bill ) walking
towards him & Attacks him, beating Bill Furiously, Incurring Life
Threatening Injuries.
Why
?
Why
did Adam Attack Bill ?
Adam
Coveted Bill’s Money or some Other Possessions.
Adam
Thought that Bill was Another Man that was ‘Sleeping’ with Adam’s
Wife.
Bill
was, in fact, The Man that was ’Sleeping’ with Adam’s Wife.
Adam
is Crazy & likes Attacking People for No Reason whatsoever, The
Decision that Adam makes to Attack or Not Attack someone depends upon
an Internal Chemical Reaction in a Given Neural Area which is Not
Connected to Any External Stimulus, Or Perhaps if Pressed on this;
Not any External Stimulus that has occurred Since their Infancy.
Bill
belonged to An Ethnicity that Adam has had ‘Problems’ with in The
Past.
Bill
Belongs to An Ethnicity that Adam Perceives ( Rightly or Wrongly ) as
The Same Ethnicity as Someone that is ‘Sleeping’ with Adam’s
Wife.
It
might be noted that The Marriage of Adam & Allison is Very
Dysfunctional & That Neither Respects each other or Their
Marriage Vows.
Speaking
of Wrongness :
What
is more Wrong;
Violence
perpetrated for No Reason Other than it’s part of your Job,
Or
Violence perpetrated as an Artistic Performance, full of Passion &
Intellectual Fever ?
What
is More Wrong :
Mulling
around a Doorway, Blocking The Entry,
Or
Bouncing an Eleven Year old Girl on your Knee that you just met at
The Mall ?
What
is More Wrong :
Walking
around a Neighborhood at Night, dressed as a Circus Clown,
Or
Licking The Face of A Stranger’s Baby ?
What
is More Wrong :
Keeping
A Secret that Everyone ( Everyone ) wants to Know,
Or
Questioning a Entrenched Cultural Myth ?
What
is More Wrong :
Drinking
The Bodily Fluids of Domesticated Livestock,
Or
Feeding A Hungry Child ?
What
is More Wrong :
Releasing
a Toxic Aerosol in The Vicinity of Children,
Or
Tickling yourself on A Bus ?
What
is More Wrong :
Using
A Ubiquitous Media Outlet to Whip The Damp Masses into A Frenzy of
Hysteria by withholding facts & replacing information from a news
story with An Emotive Tirade of Meaningless Banalities,
Or
Excessively Patting your CoWorkers on The Back at Work ?
What
is More Wrong :
Sticking
a Q-Tip in your Ear,
Or
Asking a Stranger if you can buy their socks ?
What
is More Wrong :
Eating
The Flesh of Sentient Beings,
Or
Insisting that your Children Murder Strangers in Far Away Lands ?
What
is More Wrong :
Video
Recording Anyone without their Knowledge,
Or
Allowing Politicians to Act Unsupervised ?
