Should the bus bullies be prosecuted by the Justice Department for a hate crime?

They need to be tried as adults.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

If there's evidence that the crime was committed because of the racism of the perpetrators, then yes, of course.

But this is not up for a "vote." Public opinion doesn't matter, or at least it shouldn't matter.

No. Hate crime legislation and laws are stupid. Instead they should be prosecuted as adults for assault and potentially for attempted murder. They need to do serious time. There is no excuse. The punks need to be removed from society before they kill someone.

No. I don't believe in hate crime legistation. If a white man murders my brother, who is white, why is that not just as bad as a racially motivated murder?

they were black, so Holder gives them an automatic free pass

Tell me that white boys civil rights weren't violated.

No,but they should have their *** beat,and the cowardly driver as well.
