So does burglary, murder and stealing cars and everything else thats illegal
Name me one crime that is on the statute books that never gets committed
Once something is illegal you can't make it "more" illegal by tagging on specific categories of people
Illegal is illegal
What this type of legislation does is give the impression that its worse to assault a homosexual for being homosexual than it is to hospitalise someone because you are drunk and just don't like the look of them
It isn't, its wrong to assault anyone period
We should be condemning violence as a whole not elevating specific groups above the general population
There is adequate legislation already to punish violence, take the reason for the violence into account on sentencing and lets get back to common sense law not this absolute nonsense designed to keep certain high flying law firms in business
