This is a horrible situation!!
If this is proven to be a hate crime, based on an actual investigation of the motivation and facts--not just because the perpetrator and victim are two different races, then the penalty would be greater than a non-hate motivated assault (with the assumption the man doesn't die).

If racial slurs were used prior to this man being dragged from the back of a car - if the District attorney is worth his/her salt - he/she prosecute for a hate crime.
It doesn't surprise me that good ol bush said no to hate crime legislation. The old "if it doesn't affect me and mine - I have no worries" mentality. Incredulous!
