Not sure what else to say...
A judge sentenced a woman to nearly the maximum prison term for negligent homicide after hearing a recorded jail conversation in which she made light of the bicyclist she killed.
During the conversation, the man told Arrington that an acquaintance believed she should get a medal and a parade because she had "taken out" a "tree hugger, a bicyclist, a Frenchman and a gay guy all in one shot."
Arrington laughed. When the man said he knew it was a terrible thing to say, she responded, "No, it's not."
Seems to me this should also be a hate crime. Is there really that much difference between the reasons a person is killed, and the reasons remorse is not felt for having done so? Only in the eyes of the law, it seems.
