I used to think calling crimes "hate crimes" was superfluous, but not anymore.
Beating someone to death with a tire iron is more wrong when someone does so because s/he's a bigot vs. just generally hateful?
The police don't even know yet if the note is meant to mislead or not. Thank goodness they are not knee-jerk reactionaries with nooses in their hands.
