You can't legislate to make it "more" of a crime, its already illegal!
By legislating separately for a group or groups and stating its a more serious offence to assault them, you, by default, make it less of an offence to assault someone outside of those groups thus devaluing them as a member of society
Girlgun summed it up best "punish the crime"

Well, we are all saying the same thing, basically, but violence happens to be also case-specific and different cases need a different type of approach to assest that the crime has taken place, so that's why you need to make a clear separation with some of them. Again, of course violence is abberant in any shape or form.
