White supremacists deserve public condemnation.
Thank you, Portland, Oregon jurors! Southern racists, take note.

*"Race should not have anything to do here." Wrong.
It was a hate crime. Read the article:
"Russell Courtier’s sentencing came after jurors in March found Courtier, 40, guilty of murder, hit-and-run driving and the hate crime of second-degree intimidation in the death of 19-year-old Larnell Bruce."
@LiterateHiker it was a crime. Period
You are deliberately ignoring the fact that the white supremacist targeted a black man to hit with his car.
Legal definition of "hate crime."
@LiterateHiker and you are laser focus on this particular crime to make a statement. All I am saying is that a crime is a crime regarding any useless labels.
Don't you know what a white supremacist is? Or a hate crime?
These are not "useless labels."
I see both sides here. What there is, is an extra crime of racial violence.
Awesome!
Way to often now in this country the Privaleged get a pass on horrible things!

Holy shit about goddam time a racist in the US gets convicted for his hate crime or hate violence against a minority. This is so bloody rare that it is worth posting.

One down, thousands to go. Note, sorry for the pessimistic thought, but, that was in Portland and not the South or Idaho (home to the largest number of white supremacist groups in the US)
