Bacon the new hate crime.

[Truronian]

When you try to blow up a Jewish temple, what exactly else could you be opposed to? Bagels?

When a small explosion occurs in front of a Jewish community center, it could be a number of things.

 

[woody60707]

I would certainly classify this as a hate crime. Explosives in a jewish cynagog isn't against their religion. This is the equivalancy of somebody leaving a burning cross at the front of a church.

err, You have the right to burn the Flag, why couldn't you burn a cross? or deface a book. (as long as you own it)

The crime isnt burning a cross, or putting bacon in a book, the crime is trespassing and harassment. Both are crimes that that would be silly to call the FBI for.

Oh my. Well, I guess I now want Penn & Teller arrested for their episode where they had a hole drilled through a bible. "Hole-y Bible", get it?

What a stupid thing to bother investigating.

 

[Babbler]

I don't know who is stupider: the people behind the bacon Koran, or the people overacting to it. Probably, the people behind the prank.

 

[RedWolf]

Get over your hate of pigs, moslems!

I've never understood the whole issue with Pork...

Sure pigs are unclean... they're farm animals... But who cares? They taste great!

Agreed. They arent any more unclean then cows.

In fact if you study pigs you will find their reputation is very unfounded.

It IS a hate crime because of the inent. And if someone had left bacon otuside a synangogue, my position on this would not change.

And it is also stupid to call a bomb at a synangogue mischeif, that too is a hate crime.

So? Calling it a hate crime is an unneccesary tag. In fact i dont even see why its a crime other then littering.

All they did was left some bacon there with a book. More like a prank too me.

Im ashamed at my fellow americans for being so sensitive to trivial stuff like this. The media always tries to make big deals out of little things, and never reports on the interesting stuff.

 

[sysyphus]

It is a hate crime because it is clearly meant to intimidate.

If someone went down to the American consulate in Toronto and ripped an American flag to shreads on the doorstep I'd be interested to hear the reaction of the same people playing this incident down.

I'd say... free speech, gotta love it.

Also, the intent is far from clear. That's a pretty massive assumption on anyone's part.

 

[sysyphus]

So what other reason would someone have for doing it then?

Rip the flag all you want, hell lite that bad boy up. Throw a bomb at the building you got problems.

 

[sysyphus]

I have no desire to rip your flag or anybody else's. The point is that such an act, which is just as 'harmless' would create the same stir.

No it wouldn't. There is no terrorist funded org. like cair to whine and complain and use its political power as leverage to get a wasteful FBI investigation going. Sure some people would be mad but they wouldn't push for hate crimes to be leveled. The only crime you could be charged with is litering if you don't pick the shreds up.

 

[El_Machinae]

I think it's meant to offend, not intimidate.

We still have our right to offend people dont we? As long as its verbal or symbolic.

Not if your a white male. Just ask Imus.

He still has the right. Just not on MSNBC's airwaves.

Any proof that the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is terrorist funded?

I stand corrected you do have the right to offend but if your white and male you'll get reamed for it because the "rev" Jackson will swarm to you like a fly on poop.

Back on topic whos case do you think the ACLU would take? The fire bombing of a jewish building or "The great Bacon Paper Caper"?
