This is BS:
Anyone that picks up arms to use against fellow Americans is a terrorist. Anyone that destroys their own neighborhood is a terrorist. Personally if it were up to me, there would be a bounty on anyone acting out in a violent way due to race, political view, religious beliefs.
A crime is a crime is a crime…. if someone burns, loots, steals, assaults, kills what does it matter why they did it (except for in self defense)? The crime is the crime not the motive!
If a crime committed was done in a really heinous fashion and the sentencing guide lines are 5-10 years then give the max, 10 years.
If a cop is murdered it is still murder, if a jew is murdered it is still murder --- there shouldn’t be different crimes for the same crime depending upon who you are, what your color is, what your religion is (that's racist)…it is still the same crime…murder!
