Are "hate" crimes REAL crimes?

Post by Rich-Allen1976 » 02 Jan 2024, 09:23

According to various discussions on X (fka Twitter) last week, the Police don't seem to think so.

Despite a marked rise in "hate crime" against the disabled community in particular.

Thoughts?

Because according to the Police, they don't qualify as crimes according to a post on X (fka Twitter) last week.
