Hate Crime Buffoonery In Chapel Hill

The murder of three people who happened to be Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has once again raised the politically correct absurdity of so called “hate crimes.”

Some Muslims believe the reason Craig Hicks killed was because of he hated Muslims. Others, including the cops and those studying the actual evidence, believe the killings were most likely committed by a clear cut nutjob over parking spaces.

Proving once again that the politically correct squeaky wheel gets the grease, the FBI opened an investigation into the Chapel Hill killings to determine if the murders violated federal hate crime laws.

You may recall our Department of Injustice also opened an investigation to determine if Michael Brown’s civil rights were violated by Officer Wilson who, according to a grand jury lawfully shot and killed the so-called gentle giant in Ferguson, Missouri in a clear cut case of self-defense. Nobody with their hands up got shot. Go figure.

There was no investigation that I know of that was opened by the FBI to determine if the Gentle Giant had punched Officer Wilson out of his hatred of white people or if the Gentle Giant’s assault of the Asian shop owner just prior to his confrontation with Officer Wilson was fueled by his hatred of people of Asian descent.

There was no hate crime investigation conducted by the FBI that I’m aware of regarding the destruction and damage to non-black owned businesses during the Ferguson riots as possible hate crimes.

Fascinating. It’s almost as if there is affirmative action for criminals.

One has to wonder if the FBI investigates every crime when someone alleges they were committed out of hate. I doubt it. If they do that’s fraud, waste and abuse of precious and limited crime-fighting resources. All American producers should hate their tax dollars being wasted.

The ugly, behind-the-scenes result of hate crime legislation is that this politically correct idiocy further divides us by creating special classes of people based largely on race, sexual orientation, and religion. Big mistake, kemosabe.

Yes, there are thick-skulled barbarians amongst us who commit crimes based on hate. However, it’s surely insane to believe these hate-fueled numbskulls are going to be intimidated by hate crime legislation or stiffer penalties. Don’t you just hate that?

Truth is, hate crime legislation doesn’t deter hate-fueled cretins anymore than laws against bank robbery deter bank robbers.

To give hate-filled twits longer prison sentences because they committed a crime based on hate isn’t going to quell their hatred, but more than likely will probably increase their braindead hatred. This is typical of Fedzilla: the beast achieves exactly the opposite of what it wanted to achieve.

A crime is a crime. It shouldn’t matter why a Muslim punches a Christian or if a paroled black punk punches an elderly white guy while playing the knock out game. What should matter is that an assault occurred. Can’t we all just get along and agree we should hate carjackers, rapists, burglars and those who commit assaults?

We should never bestow special rules, classes and treatment for a selected class of people. When we do that it creates further fissures in our social, cultural and political fabric. All that does is weaken America. I hate that.

Just as we’re not going to stamp out obesity and diabetes by imposing Michelle Obama’s school lunch menu on American kids, we’re not going to stamp out hate through hate crime penalties.

Hate crime legislation should be tossed on the junk heap of other failed, expensive, erroneous and politically correct bad ideas.

All good, caring Americans should hate bad ideas.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
