    There is no mention of race, color, ethnic origin or sexual preference. The only person that was actually racist was the suspect who attached the victim because he was a member of a group, national guard because it was the same as being a police officer.

    It is ironic people have to bring race up bow days and don't see the true problem. The excuses are covering up the true problems. 10:15 is correct. The definition of a hate crimes is based of prejudice of violence toward a specific group based off race, religion, and orientation. Mind you as well of the types of crimes Mr. Mozley has committed it is hard to see a good person in his profile picture.
