Nanny State Connecticut-Crimes against Homeless a Hate Crime?

So someone squats on your property and what do you say? "Get off my land" seems to give the impression that you are a felonious hate criminal. Or so it would appear at first glance:

Since saying "get off my land" isn't a crime if the person has no legal right to be there then saying it to a homeless person also isn't a crime.

So if I harass some segments of society (homeless, religious minorities) it counts as hate crime, but if I harass everybody else its just normal harassment?

If someone attacks someone for being chinese because they hate chinese people it is a hate crime, if they attack someone with no negative mitigating factor then it isn't.

Yet.

Yet.

Paranoid much?
Its a vast conspiracy I tell ya.

A crime is a crime, different factors present in the commisioning of a crime give different weight in terms of sentencing. Some give a harsher penalty for the crime, some give a more lenient penalty for the same crime.
That is all this is, nothing more nothing less.

Which means the complaints made here about it read like they belong on the Daily Mail letters of outrage page.

Conspiracy? The vote is before the Senate. No conspiracy.

Sure. And that will all come out after the Senate vote.

I can only gather that you are referring to 'complaints' here in this thread.
That's a bit harsh to liken subsim members that have posted in this thread to the daily fail posters who give insightful and invaluable commentary, all the while upholding the utmost maturity and civility.

This wraps it up in a nutshell.

So how do you tell homeless women to get off the lawn and not lose the house?
