ThoughtCrime in Connecticut
7th June 2017
The Connecticut legislature unanimously passed a bill Tuesday increasing penalties for hate crimes, changing intimidation based on bigotry or bias from a misdemeanor to a felony.
The penalty increase also affects hate crimes against houses of worship and classifies a first-degree hate crime as anything inflicting “physical injury” based on bigotry or bias, lowered from the previous “serious injury” standard, the Wall Street Journal reports. Those convicted of hate crimes will face one to 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. Lawmakers said the changes are a response to the growing rate of hate crimes across the country.
Funny how ‘antifa’ thugs never get charged, or even arrested, for ‘hate crimes’ (as opposed to, I suppose, ‘love crimes).
Better learn to love Big Brother … or else.
