I am also not sure why a hate crime determination should have any bearing on a murder. Dead is dead. There are situations where a determination of hate is warranted in my opinion, but this sure as heck is not one of them. My life is not worth any more or less than anyone else just due to my religion, gender or race, at least not where murder is concerned. \

As mentioned above, he can say what he wants, acting on it is a whole different matter.
