Hate crime against atheist

http://kwcg.humanists.net/CMS/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

 

Watch on the top right. It's about a hateful assault against an atheist that happened in Toronto, Canada a few months back. I wasn't on RRS forums that long ago so maybe it's been posted already.

The story was horrible.

The story was horrible. Unfortunately in this country violence against atheists is somewhat accepted.

This is the reason why hate

This is the reason why hate crime laws are unjust and counter productive.

I don't know if I'd

I don't know if I'd classify this as a hate crime as much as an "asshole crime".  The guys were jerks.

I think a few years back, there would have been an ass whooping and this would have been over.  Today's kids are little pussies that go crying if someone slaps them.  Whatever happened to dealing with bullies?
