Soon the ones that were yelling for hate crimes legislation will be the ones yelling for it to end. As I said before, laws are a funny thing. They can work for you and work against you at the same time, without even changing one word. Not only will more African-Americans be tried under hate crime legislation, but also stiffer penalties will be given to people unnecessarily convicted under a hate crime statute. So much for reforming the justice system, eh?
