Default Hate Crimes Increasing In Russia

Wave of attacks on Jews in Russia

***

White supremacists and Russian nationalists have really been leaving quite a body count in recent years. With globalization and international immigration, social strains are becoming more obvious. The U.S. probably has the most neo-nazis, and Germany pobably has the most authentic, but Russia has the most violent. Brutality sometimes seems to be a cultural trait in that part of the world.

Default RE: Hate Crimes Increasing In Russia

can't every crime be described as a "hate" crime ?

if I kill a man for his wallet, should I be punished less than if I killed him because he's a Jew ? I mean, hate laws are some of the stupidest laws we've every seen - seriously

The very term "hate crime" is redundant, so is the thinking behind it.

I love studying semantics as much as the next guy, but let's stick to the event, not the euphemism. This is cold-blooded murder brought on by an intolerance of victims'ethnic and/or religious characteristics.

What I'm left wondering is how this will affect the domestic situation over there. Putin is ruling Moscow, but other elements within Russian society are trying to leave their own marks on the country.
