    Interesting list. Some of those, especially the church burnings, are especially sad because so many others suffer from the loss.
    a person must feel very desperate to pull that sort of hoax.

    While I understand the reasoning behind designating certain types of crimes as "hate crimes," I'm not sure the designation is productive. In reality a person who gets shot in a barroom brawl is just as dead as a person who gets shot for his skin color. His family is just as sad. Both shooters are murderers. Neither victim is more or less important or valuable than the other.

    Your comment about "hoaxes begetting hoaxes" is dead on.

    "Hate crimes" are a contrived designation for federal intervention into states' jurisdictions that function to give Kennedy-Johnson civil rights bull$#@! a set of false teeth. It should all be repealed. Instead, it just gets more ridiculous. We are rotting away, and getting used to the stench.
