I got this definition among many other similar definitions about hate crime on the web. You could expand this definition to include rich people being targeted because a poor person who hated them for being rich. In fact just about any kind of assault I can think of could be turned into a hate crime. I am anti the legislation myself.


I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs and insanity for everyone, but its always worked for me.
