FBI Reports 14 Murders Among 7,489 Hate Crimes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nearly 7,500 hate crimes, including 14 murders based on sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, were reported in the United States last year, the FBI (news - web sites) said on Monday.


In an annual report, the FBI said murder accounted for only 0.3 percent of the total number of hate crimes in 2003.


Six of the 14 murders were committed as a result of a sexual-orientation bias, five involved racial prejudice, two were committed because of a bias against an ethnicity and one was the result of a hostility toward a disability, the bureau said.

I'm afraid this number will be increasing... the final "solution" is upon us.:-(

1. Maybe we need to make sure people watch
films like The Matthew Shepard Story, which put a human face on homosexuals and their families. After seeing it, I can't imagine anyone with a living heart being able to hate a gay person.
