1. But will they be charged with a hate crime?

Sorry, just channeling what RW radio and the rest of the media will be asking to fill air time for the rest of the day.

2. Mentally disabled makes it into a hate crime. Read the story or even the thread title

9. The epithets they used while victimizing a white person is also a hate crime.

It will be interesting to see if the 4 face charges for the disabled and racial element of the attack.

10. That would be an interesting legal point.

Could someone be charged for two different hate crimes on the same victim?

7. Uh, that's what this OP is about, they were charged with a hate crime

8. I'm aware, I added a second link which corroborates what you posted. This forum

seems to be full of people who deny that this event took place or are convinced that this is fake news. A secondary media source seemed like a good idea.

11. What a bunch of b-----ds.

There's a special place in hell for abusing mentally challenged people.

Hope they meet the same as them in prison.

12. I can't wait for the parents of one of these little shits

to come out and tell what sweet, wonderful kids they are, despite the evidence in the video.

But, yeah, if they are convicted of even half of this stuff, they are going to spend the next 4 presidential administrations in prison.
