What the fuck.

Welp, on the other hand that kid is a dick :derp:
JT:
So what? He's fucking 12. Kids beat each other up all the time.
Suikama:
Except he was also charged with aggravated harassment, so I'd say it's a bit more than that. Yeah the hate crime is completely rediculous, but that doesn't mean he's not a dick :derp:
Tengukami:
My guess was the kid was probably bullying the Muslim over a period of time, and the Hate Crime card was thrown as a last resort. I mean it's not like schools are exactly falling over themselves trying to protect minorities.
That said, charging him with a hate crime is likely not going to teach him a damn thing, but might set an example for other kids at least.
Gpop:
Yeah, hate crime is a bit too much, but at least he was also charged for harassment, which was right.
