MacDonald: Trump DOJ Needs to Nix “Hate Crimes” Laws Not Use Them

The beauty of being for less government, a lean bureaucracy, sunsetting regulations, expiring rules, and lower taxes (taxation is theft) is that if an opposing political machine were to assume power, even temporarily, they can’t use what you did against you. Never assume the tyrannies, petty or otherwise, that you implement for political advantage won’t … Read more

August 15, 2021June 22, 2021 Auntie Vaquser

We have another classic hyperbolic reaction from the Left.

You can ask the mayor and some in the media, but if you ask the driver of the vehicle, different story.

Hate Crimes Against Jews In NYC

June 5, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Viewing NYC… New York City (NYC), which is the nation’s largest city by population, should it be considered a proxy for the United States? New York has a socialist mayor.

Black Transgender Woman Arrested for Randomly Pepper-Spraying White People

March 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

An individual commits as many as seven racist “hate crimes,” no film at 11 or any other time. The attacker was not white. They were not wearing an NRA T-shirt, a MAGA hat, and no Flags on their clothes (American, Gadsden). Not worth reporting. She was a black transgender woman.

February 15, 2019February 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We shared Ed Naile’s suspicion that Jussie Smollett’s hate crime was a hoax. Too many things made no sense. Not the least of which was MAGA hat wearing white supremacist gay-bashers with bleach. Out trolling homosexual actors of color at 2 am on a record-cold Chicago morning. And then letting them keep his Subway sandwich.

Not Buying The Jussie Smollett Subway Attack

February 6, 2019

I want to stick my neck out a bit on the unfolding Jussie Smollett “MAGA beating.”

It looks like the Chicago PD might be interested in getting the whole story. They may demand access to his cell phone. That cell phone is key to finding out what really happened for Smollett to get such a small scratch on his right cheek.

Not Your Typical “White Supremacist”

December 9, 2018December 7, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Black Student Arrested at Elite School for Hate Crime Against Himself

December 4, 2018December 3, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Student protesters reacted predictably when “racist graffiti” was discovered on their campus.

The perpetrator was a black student who directed the racism at (drumroll please) himself.

FBI Report: Hate Crimes Plummet Under Republicans in ‘Too White’ New Hampshire

November 13, 2018November 13, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Regular readers will know that I do not believe in either hate speech or hate crime as legal concepts. Any motivation, in the context of hate crimes, comes loaded with bias and opens the enforcement mechanisms in society to justify persecutions contrary to the purported purpose of adding “hate” to crime in the first place. … Read more
