The bill is titled, "To provide Federal assistance to States, local jurisdictions, and Indian tribes to prosecute hate crimes, and for other purposes," and it includes this brazenly collectivist newspeak: "A prominent characteristic of a violent crime motivated by bias is that it devastates not just the actual victim and the family and friends of the victim, but frequently savages the community sharing the traits that caused the victim to be selected." http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.1913: All the best, Peter Murphy Hello, Tom -

I learned of HR 1913 this morning from a radio broadcast, and thought you might be interested.

The bill is titled, “To provide Federal assistance to States, local jurisdictions, and Indian tribes to prosecute hate crimes, and for other purposes,” and it includes this brazenly collectivist newspeak:

“A prominent characteristic of a violent crime motivated by bias is that it devastates not just the actual victim and the family and friends of the victim, but frequently savages the community sharing the traits that caused the victim to be selected.”

All the best,

Peter Murphy
