No Federal Charges For Rolling Pig Head
In a small victory over moonbattery, Brent Matthews will face a state misdemeanor charge but not federal hate crime charges for his little joke of rolling a pig's head into a mosque in Lewiston, Maine. Pigs are on the long list of things Muslims find "offensive."
Lewiston is becoming overrun with emigrants from Somalia, a land where failing to pray to Allah five times a day could get you beheaded. It was the massive influx of Somalis into the Minneapolis area that resulted in our first Muslim Congressman, Nation of Islam alumnus Keith Ellison.
On a tip from Wiggins.

One of the many dark sides of increasing diversity that the multicultural/diversity industry doesn't want us to know but we know anyway.

I don't think it's right, what he did. But he should be judged by the laws of the land, not how he felt about the Muslims.
Hate crime laws are so subjective. If a white man hates another white man and attacks him, it should be judged the same as if a white man hates a black man and attacks him.
To differentiate crimes based solely on how a judge or jury interprets the hatred the perpetrator may or may not have had, and THAT based solely on if the victim fits a certain profile to which hate crimes apply, is the same as saying Muslims get the death penalty for killing Muslims, but not for killing Christians.
In trying to get past the idea that people are judged by the color of their skin, we've now judged victim status based on the same criteria.
