Shouldnt we be condemning all violence against a person as equally reprehensible rather than elevating specific groups above others?
Is it me or has common sense in this world gone straight out of the bloody window

I'm probably with you on this one. As awful as it is to hate anyone, it is your right, in this country, to hate. You don't have the right to perpetrate violence. That's why we already have laws against violence. When we start policing people's thoughts and ideals, even if they are the ugliest thoughts and ideals, then I get scared.
