Pernicous notion of Hate Crime

Under a system of objective law there would be no such phenomena as a hate crime.A crime is a crime regardless of the motivation behind it.To elevate some crimes as being more morally despicable than others because of the motivation behind them is the height of irrationality and arbitrariness and is demonstrably unjust and brings the whole law into disrepute.To illustrate the absurdity of the idea of hate crime we can take for example two cases of murder.The first is a person who is murdered by someone who does so to steal their money.The second murder is committed by someone who does not like the race of the person they murder.The first case is characterised as a murder,the second a hate crime and by extension worthy of a more severe sentence.In both cases murder has been committed but the murder of a person for financial gain is not considered as heinous as murder on racial grounds.Whether a person is killed because the murderer wanted to steal their money or because the murderer did not like the colour of the victim's skin or the clothes they were wearing or their religion should have no bearing on the sentence which should soley depend on the fac that the person has committed an act of murder.The instigation of force that leads to murder is the crime,not the motivation of the murderer.Just as pernicous if not more is the notion of hate crime to characterise anyone making derogatory offensive remarks about another person's race or religion which takes us into an Orwellian world of thoughtcrime.Being at risk of arrest for expressing politically incorrect views is a road map to tyranny.
