On the matter of penalty enhancements or hate crimes involving Special Victims-

I had about 20 years in LE when the first penalty enhancements, for crimes against cops, were proposed. I spoke out against them, which made me a pr!ck/no good bastard in the eyes of many co workers.

My reasons are simple. There's no reason my life was worth more than your grandma, children etc. Second, placing a higher value on any class of people flies in the face of a pillar of American jurisprudence- Equal Protection Under The Law.

Without that--and it's dead as yesterday's news--we are headed for a caste system.
