T. A. Gardner
Serial Thread Killer
You know why they prosecuted this as a hate crime, the young man got caught and there was hard evidence the man planned a hate crime.
Was there that type of evidence in the other knockouts?
Plenty. But the DOJ under the racists and bigots of the Holder era refused to prosecute even when local prosecutors did. The DOJ singled out the one case where a White was involved for federal prosecution.
That's one of dozens of videos--part of the "game" was to get it on video to be displayed so there was plenty of evidence to be had.
