The kinds of crime the New Century people are talking about are generally motivated by greed, poverty, drug addiction, or some combination thereof. Hate crimes are motivated by fear and power...or perhaps fear of losing power. Being robbed at gunpoint may be frightening, but "it's only money," and you can always make more of that. The black man who was dragged to death in Texas because he was black can hardly get his life back. It doesn't surprise me that the Washington Times should publish this tripe; it fits their agenda very neatly. Bob Please; Bestowing victim status and justifying criminal acts in the same breath is not a good plan. When the criminal (your victim) is apprehended he simply yells "RACIST!" and here we are. Your opinion that I should not mind being robbed at gunpoint is not comforting. I worked for that money and I don't understand why you are allowed to decide whether the person stealing it should be punished. Perhaps you are volunteering to compensate the victims of crime?
