For the life of me I fail to understand why one murder spurred by anti-semitism is any worse than another murder out of greed or jealousy or anger or simple indifference. Two days ago I spent 6 hours touring Dachau with my family and I can tell you that hate was the last emotion that drove the Nazi's to kill Jews, Catholics, Gypsies, political opponents and other other undesirable persons. The fact is they were able to carry these out atrocities not because of hate, but because they no longer saw their fellow man as something human, possessing a soul and deserving of their lives. The whole concept of hate crimes befuddles me because today the greatest examples of genocide come from an unexplainable apathy toward the value of another human life. All murder falls into that category and no murder done for the emotion of hate is any more important than a murder done for any other reason.

Hound, I share your outrage but why not post about the murder and rape of a young woman in a city or a drive by shooting or some other awful event? Why focus on this one alone? It is PC these days to generate more outrage about the loss of life due to anti-semitism, or homophobia or the murder of a person from some other politically acceptable protected class that deserves no more, and not an ounce less of our outrage over their lives lost. Murder is wrong and a hate crime regardless of the circumstances.
