Hate crimes are not freedom of speech. Freedom of fucking speech is for press to be able to report on fascism without being afraid of execution. It's so FUCKING co opted it's blindeningly idiotic and gives me idiotism for just fucking reading about this idiotic take over and over.. Why the fuck fuck fuck would anyone think calling a child racist shit is "technically" legal way the fuck are you ingesting in your blood to think these things???? In any country like even in fascist countries they make sure to pretend to understand hate crime is bad against their own at least
You need to look at the difference between a 'hate crime' and a 'hate incident.' They're not the same thing. There could be eye witness evidence or other recordings of a crime too, but in that case it'd be a matter for the police rather than the family.
Generally, when a person or group sues someone else, they're seeking for damages. Such as loss of property, medical bills, reputation which causes loss of work etc. It's hard to argue what the damages here would be.
I believe the police are also looking into the matter though, so something could come of it, including money to the family.
So you're not American, not familiar with our laws, but confident enough to write six paragraphs and then admit that the police are looking into it and something may come of it?
My original point was that I'm not sure what the NAAPC are planning to achieve, I hope the police can discover enough through eye witness accounts to try her in a criminal court but from what I've seen there's no criminal act; just a shitty person being shit. What scares me the most is the support.
It makes me so angry. Suing people for hating your skin color is an incredibly American concept. All laws are "interpretable" and in all other first world countries, there is no issue with prohibiting and punishing idiots that hate others for their skin color, and it works also to remove those idiots. There's some serious playing stupid energy in your nation
