Holocaust Museum Shooting NOT a Hate Crime!

So there was a white supremacist who shot a man at a holocaust museum. He is a murderer! Not only that, he is a HATE CRIMES murderer! Tell me, what kills a person worse. A person who killed you for what you do, or a person who kills you for who you are (race, gender wise)? The answer is NEITHER! The thing is, ANY MURDER should be considered a hate crime! You have to at some point have some hatred in yourself towards someone else in order to kill them (excluding insane murderers who do it just for fun and the likes).

The whole hate crimes deal is a joke. We are essentially convicting people for their thoughts instead of how they acted on them. It should make no difference if I hate someone because they are different than I am if I kill them. I still killed them, they are still dead. It is all the same.

If anything, these hate crimes laws are a hate crime within themselves. They act hatefully towards people who hold a strong opinion. Take this Museum murderer who had an anti-semitic website called Holy Western Empire.org. ( you can't get on it any more because the government has shut it down which I believe is wrong as well). He believed that the people of Jewish decent were part of some Marxist Conspiracy. He was tried for violating gun laws in DC and he claims that it was a mistrial because his judge was jewish, his jury was comprised of negros and jews, and the lawyers were jewish. It was all a conspiracy.

Now this man held very strong beliefs as to this country's future and what certain people were contributing to it. I don't agree with him, but (as a true lover of the 1st amendment would say) I WILL FIGHT TO MY DEATH HIS RIGHT TO SAY
IT! Just because his views are offensive, and are not accepted by a lot of people, does not mean he is not a citizen of the United States and should be protected by the 1st Amendment as we all enjoy its protection. This kind of freedom is what we live and our troops die for. To be able to speak your mind for or against something and not be punished for it.

Well, I hope this country and the courts will not hold this man accountable for the things he said. Only the (insert your faith here) God can hold him for what he said and felt in his heart. But, if he did murder, he should get the death penalty (opening up a new can of worms) and I now leave you with that.
