Idea Title: Crimes against people because of political views should be a hate crime
Idea:
Maybe its time to make political violence a hate crime. Im.surprised its not. Workplaces consider it an EEO violation.With the others like race gender religion sexual preference as EEO violations. but they are also hate crimes. Time to add political violence as a hate crime
mn a crime motivated by political views is generally not considered a hate crime under federal law or in most U.S. states. Federal law defines hate crimes as crimes motivated by bias against specific protected classes, which typically include race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability. While a politically motivated crime is still a serious offense, the added penalty or designation of a hate crime typically requires a protected characteristic
as the motivation. 0
