New Mexico protest shooting that happened yesterday.
The chief of police says he will charge the guard group with a hate crime. How is this possible, If political beliefs are not a distinction for hate crime?
Here is the quote
Albuquerque Police Chief Michael Geier said in a statement. “If this is true [we] will be holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including federal hate group designation and prosecution.”
There's no "hate crime" being alleged, they're looking to condemn the militia group as a "hate group" because they disagree with Black Lives Matter.
It's the stupid game with words they like playing. The Police Chief, appointed by the Democrat Mayor, are saying, "You disagree with the organization BLM, so obviously you also disagree with the statement Black Lives Matter -- meaning you hate and disregard black lives." You know it doesn't apply the other direction, especially in New Mexico.
Ha, that's a slick move. Name your organization "black', do with your organization anything you want, and if anyone opposes that are racist.
They can't lose.
