I think this should be charged as a hate crime. It was hate against women, imo.
The hate crime law is so laughable that the government and the departments that cover hate crimes should be arrested. Seriously.
Any intentional murder that wasn't done in direct self defense should be a hate crime.
Example. Gang bangers that kill their foes for simply being in a different gang, should be considered a hate crime. A sad person that kills a happy looking person for the sake of them looking too happy in the killers eyes should be a hate crime. Jmo.
I can give examples of hate crimes all day long. But the government designates hate crimes as something else which imo is wrong.
Because every senseless murder or assault is a hate crime. Jmo.
http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/crim...ed-killing-unt-student-appear-court/78390108/A United States Marine accused of killing of a University of North Texas student will go before a judge in Arizona on Thursday. Eric Jamal Johnson, 20, is set for a 2 p.m. extradition hearing in Yuma County Justice Court. Court records indicate he does not have an attorney yet. If he waives extradition, the Fort Worth native will return to Denton County to face a first-degree murder charge...
On Wednesday, detectives confirmed they have spoken with the four other occupants of the Honda Pilot, and no one is facing charges except for Johnson...
Johnson is still on active duty, but that could change due to the severity of the charge, a Marines spokesperson told WFAA.
I think every murder or assault is a hate crime, but that's just me.. They're all senseless and stupid..
But I'll admit I've never heard of anyone getting shot over turning down some crude sexual proposition. Shot for doing it I've heard of, I guess some people have risen to heights of asininity.
You've never heard of a man reacting violently because he was rejected? Because his ego was bruised?
This only happens when there is a history between the man and the woman. But if a man invites a women to have sex with him after a few seconds of conversation, he is very likely to have a 95%+ rejection rate. So if this is Eric Johnson's modus operandi then he would have been rejected by perhaps hundreds of women. So why does he suddenly kill Sara when he hasn't killed any other woman who rejected him?
We can only speculate... so I will. If it was a car full of just girls this doesn't happen IMO. It happened because the guy/s spoke up (we know this is true) and so the guys in the other car were "disrespected" and had to prove their manhood. They were probably all under the influence of something and Johnson decided he had to "keep it real".
Someone asked earlier where people get the idea to solve small disagreements with guns.
There is an entire culture that preaches this. (This comment has nothing to do with race, please do not reply to it as if it does.) A disturbingly large amount of young people are absolutely entrenched in this culture. And yet somehow everyone (in that culture) acts shocked when someone actually practices what is being constantly preached.

I've heard it all believe me, but I still have a hard time believing this. Maybe it's because I don't get that way myself, I'll be sad or depressed. I save violence for defense of others only when there's no other way out. That's the only time a fight's that's worth getting into..
I think you got that wrong, eileenhawkeye, it was one of the men in the SUV (friend of Johnson) who said "I'll whip your *advertiser censored*" , not one of Sara's friends.
