I would be very careful about voting for a politician who does not understand the purpose of hate crimes, why they are created, and who they intend to protect.

Shooting someone for money is a crime against an individual.
Shooting someone because he is gay is a crime against the individual as well as an act of terror against the community, and is therefore more severe.
