Beating the shit out of someone just because they are whatever is retarded.

Hate crimes...I dunno... I agree they are pretty stupid.

So you would have no problem with someone beating the shit out of someone because they were standing on the corner preaching?

But then again...why is it that Bob Knight zeroes in just on the orientation part? He's not against the hate crime amendment. He's against orientation being put in it.
