I was glad to see the news yesterday that Amid jump in some bias crimes, Holder seeks tougher laws.
After all, after eight years of ignoring hate crimes against minorities (mostly homosexuals and Hispanics, although I do not mean to ignore or diminish hate crimes against others) it is time for action.
Noting recent incidents of "bias-motivated violence," Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said yesterday that new hate-crimes laws were needed to stop what he called "violence masquerading as political activism."
