“It was a hate crime. My daughter is very shaken up.”
Robert Owens
“Censorship and hate speech laws don't protect GOOD IDEAS…they protect BAD ONES. They keep them alive and push them underground. If someone is engaging in HATE SPEECH, you don't silence them. You don’t tell them to shut up.…You say, "COME OVER HERE AND SAY THAT" You say, "BRING IT ON"…..”
Jules Carlysle
“I hate this "crime doesn't pay" stuff. Crime in the United States is perhaps one of the biggest businesses in the world today.”
Peter Kirk
“One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalized by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
Oscar Wilde
“Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what they're doing is right.”
Cher
“I don't want to diminish the seriousness of any hate crime -- because one hate crime is one too many -- but if there is a silver lining in the numbers here in our jurisdiction, it's that for the most part they were not violent offenses.”
Gary Davidson
“Back in '68, I think with the information they had, probably they looked at a hate crime as the motive. Sexual assault was secondary, thirdly would have been theft. I think now we put that reversed. I think you have a robbery that kind of gets out of hand that leads to murder and sexual assault.”
