[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, do people not understand why a hate crime is different? It's not because it's worse to assault a gay person. It's because if you assault someone *because* they are gay, the effect of your crime does not just impact the person who is assaulted. It impacts the rest of the community. It makes people scared, it makes people restrict their movements.[/quote] Right, but a dude walking around with a machete is very likely mentally ill, and not some otherwise-rational person with a special hatred for gay people.
