Hate Crimes
Hate crimes are basically crimes committed against another person because of his or her race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, etc. Congress passed a law that gives people guilty of hate crimes a larger sentence. I'm against hate crime laws because they make people's thoughts and beliefs illegal, and that goes against the First Amendment of the Constitution, freedom of religion and freedom of speech. So, the courts believe that murdering someone while saying racist remarks is worse then murdering someone while saying nothing at all. The First Amendment protects everyone, even people who say stuff that is stupid or that we don't agree with. Actually, all crimes are hate crimes because you must hate someone to commit a crime against them. Hate crimes are really just punishment for politically incorrect
