What is a Hate Crime?

Federal definition:
A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.

California definition:
Section 13023 of the Penal Code states that ". . . any criminal acts or attempted criminal acts to cause physical injury, emotional suffering, or property damage where there is a reasonable cause to believe that the crime was motivated, in whole or in part, by the victim's race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or physical or mental disability . . ." shall be reported to the Department of Justice.

The following activities are examples of crimes that qualify as hate crimes if motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived group identity:
The hate crime must involve a specific target, such as a person or individual residence, house of worship, religious, ethnic, or gender-based organization, or business







It must be racial, ethnic, gender-based, religious, or homophobic in nature, using swastikas or other symbols and slogans of the KKK, Nazi party, or other hate groups, or involving the use of epithets.
Bigotry must be the central motive for the attack, rather than economics, revenge, etc., as in other kinds of crime.
Any assault against a person, in the absence of other apparent motivation, when initiated with racial, ethnic, religious, gendered or homophobic epithets, will be considered to be a hate crime.
Vandalism to a house of worship, or to an ethnic, religious, or gay or lesbian organization will be considered a hate crime in the absence of evidence of other motives.
Obscene or threatening phone calls, when containing racial, ethnic, religious, gender-based, or homophobic slurs, are considered hate crimes when it is determined that hate is the primary motivation for the call.

Why would the NA leave herdsmen and Sambisa/Shekau to invade NNAMDI KANU'S RESIDENCE? Who deployed the military on such a mission? This is criminal and hate motivated. October 1st is coming when the ultimatum deadline given to the Igbo will materialise...has any military drill being carried out in the north where those miscreants called Arewa youths have threatened peaceful business men and citizens of Nigeria with proposed genocide?

I am responsible for my posts. Mods take note!

What is a Hate- or Bias-Motivated Incident?

A "hate- or bias-motivated act" is any incident in which an action taken by a person or group is perceived to be malicious (hate) or discriminatory (bias) toward another person or group based on such characteristics as race, color, socioeconomic class, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity or any situation in which inter-group tensions exist based on such group characteristics. Hate and bias acts may be violations of criminal law, such as "hate crimes," or violations of civil law, such as unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, education or public accommodations. All hate crimes are considered hate and bias incidents, but not all bias incidents are considered hate crimes.

Under no circumstances should the army descend so low to be parading Kanu's home with three hilux jeeps and an armoured tank!! Mba... It is a wanton waste of national resources and the peak of reckless action.

If nothing it only shows that KANU is getting close to his goals

Countries like India have splitted severally into Bangladesh, Pakistan to mention a few along ethnic and religious divides!

Instead of this cavemania invasions I think the FG should be working towards giving all ethnic groups a sense of belonging in the entity called Nigeria. And making it work via restructuring.. Which is the least condition guaranteed to calm down tensions and agitations!

GavelSlam:


And they are living in peace... Oh wait!

Are they at war? India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are reasonably at Peace and more importantly believe in their national identity and belonging.

Mother Russia ie the USSR has broken down into many countries and that has not taken away the importance of Russia in global affairs!

Nonsense rantings!

The United kingdom is made up of quasi independent countries yet they can work together for common good. The Englishman with the Irishman... Scottish man or the Welshmen all work together for common good in the United Kingdom arrangements.

DropShot:
Nonsense rantings!

I wait for when you are taken down by the lion you're grooming then I will write NONSENSE RANTER ON YOUR OBITUARY!

Wisdom is indeed not a feature abundant in our governance

Barcelona Spain has been agitating for independence but has continually lost at the referendum elections.. Like KANU may lose if Nigeria plays the cards well..

Force and violence cannot stop KANU tact and diplomacy will!

The United States is made up of semi independent States..of over 500 million people who live in peace! With State and Federal police working side by side! Federalism both political and financial guaranteed...

The FG criticizes hate speech and then goes full blast into hate actions!!

There will have consequences

is it hard to understand? ?we have nothing in common, ,I can't live in a country where the evil perpetrators are left unpunished yet you try to kill the ones that have done nothing instead they are seeking for freedom...omg,,This banana kingdom will fall faster than I thought

GavelSlam:


They are always at each others throats.

They are sworn enemies with only India making an existence of the three.

They were at war and India was worse off keeping them together!

All I think about is how to ambush those armoured tanks and head straight to sokoto and bomb the sultan palace.

Its only a matter of time, we will lay our hands on those tanks.

The more they use Hate against Kanu and IPOB, the more Kanu and IPOB gain more sympathy from those Igbos who were on the sidelines before now.
A time will come, other Tribes will also lend their voices. Oil cannot keep us together forever.

Kazim88:

He wants to strike at the heart of the caliphate

CaptainGOOD:
In sane countries army stays in barracks and only goes out for war or peace keeping call.

Not patrolling with armoured tanks in the street and intimidating people.
Shooting innocent unnarmed civilians.

Nigeria nigeria nigeria!!!!!
Which way

In sane countries
