Hate Crime

"Sometimes when you're so close to it, emotionally, I can't write about it. And only now, can I begin." -Jennifer Cornay

A mar on the face of our country, and an absolute abomination to our judicial sytem. I'm sure you guys are already aware of this, and I hope you will be participating in this locally, and through one of the many petition sites. 

This is a copy+paste from the website. I've signed my name, please do the same.

Last year, I went to a summer school in New York City. Everything was fine until I saw a group of people standing in one area, as if they were looking at something. My friend who was walking with me at that time literally dragged to see what the fuss was all about.

A few months ago cops bust into the house of a 80+ year old woman. She was selling drugs out of her home and when the cops came in she shot at them. The cops fired back and killed her. Now the entire black population of Georgia seems to be out and calling this a hate crime. How could it be a hate crime.. is it because she was black or what?
