A mom facing charges of hate crimes against Jews
 
Lakewood-WABC, July 12, 2004) — A mother from New Jersey is facing charges of encouraging her kids to take part in a bias crime.

She's accused of urging her children to throw pennies at Orthodox Jews.

Police say 42-year-old Frances Stiles gave the coins to her 15-year-old daughter, her daughter's friend and her 11-year-old son Thursday night as they drove through the town of Lakewood, and allegedly told them to throw them at Orthodox Jews.

A detective in an unmarked car saw the pennies flying out the window.

Stiles is charged with bias harassment

How about they charge her w/ "unfit parenting". Unreal!

If I were 11 or 15 and my mom suggested we go out and do that, I'd have had her locked up. But I'm sure this isn't an isolated incident.

I still say we need to make people get "breeding" licenses to have kids.

Repeal Hate Crime Laws
 
I really believe that all hate crime laws should be repealed. They're redundant, and an unnecessary legislation of thought.

Was Ted Bundy's murders not so bad because he was a sociopath?

I saw this on the news earlier. Also there is that hate crime in Queens against the Sikh man. What they said on the news was some white men beat him and were yelling at him and calling him a turban head and terrorist.

Let's see, which country was it that was founded, in part, with the words, "All men are created equal..."

Let's not be revisionist, they weren't really talking about "all men" to be fair :D

I get your point though :D
