Is this a hate crime?

[Lady Cop]

i think "hate crime" is a misnomer. they didn't set him on fire in a love crime exactly.

all violent crime is malicious.

my point is, motive is never required to prove guilt. intent is, but not motive.

so who knows what evil lies in the hearts of men?
you can't legislate or prove it.

i think hate crime should be eliminated as a charge.
