If this story is veracious, is this a hate crime?

[DrWeird]

1. Know why magicman was banned?

If you read careful, he made at least one blatantly racist comment.

[_Jumper_]

So did another poster

n/t

[Terwilliger]

2. not Jumper, though

he has a legitimate question

So what was the hate crime you suffered, Jumper?

[_Jumper_]

5. Assault

n/t

[Terwilliger]

13. and it was a hate crime?

[_Jumper_]

17. Ethnicity was a major factor

I consider it a hate crime.

[Isome]

20. That's the problem...

You consider it a major factor when the facts don't support your conclusion. It was noticeable because the participants weren't of the same skin color and the descriptor, white, was used but not as a pejorative.

10. Terwilliger...please read

[Terwilliger]

12. I caught it, tom

thanks, though

[tom_paine]

15. No response...not trying to pick a fight

Just interested in hearing what you thought.

And I do apologize for the post title. That was a bit out of line...

[funkyflathead]

3. Yes it is n/t

[frank frankly]

4. let this thread, like magic man, go away

IMHO

[_Jumper_]

6. It was a fun thread

That is why I'm continuing it.

[LiviaOlivia]

9. Fun??

I question your choice of words.

[frank frankly]

11. me, too!

strange fascination with this, jumper...

[_Jumper_]

18. I like debating

Sue me for it.:)

[Renew Deal]

7. Locked in 3....2...1

Don't get tombstoned over this.

[_Jumper_]

8. The previous two were locked due to technicalities

I have stayed within the rules in this thread.

[Alenne]

14. No one knows if it was or wasn't a hate crime

You have one side of the story and the police have not ended their investigation.


We don't even know if it happened exactly the way she said it happened.

[Yupster]

16. If the story is correct,

of course it's a hate crime. Shouldn't be a whole lot of discussion I wouldn't think.

[Isome]

19. Not exactly

if the story is correct and there is no other evidence, it's not a sure thing.
