Exceptions happen and they're important when lives/freedom are at stake.

Wait, you agree when you said earlier that we don't know whether something is really a hate crime because we don't know the motivation and intent in most of these crimes?

I agree that human behavior is generally knowable.
However, generalizations should not cut it when, as I said earlier...lives/freedom are at stake.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
