Transgender murder victim stabbed in genitals and set on fire 'not a hate crime'

Probably because “hate crime” is an enhancement to an existing charge, not a charge in of itself. @Nathan_B seems to make some good, well reasoned points about why a hate crime charge may not be pursued. It’s a nice departure from the other, “what’s the deal with hate crimes anyway?” bad faith arguments from some other certain posters.
