Remember when the Niagara Regional Police say that spitting on people is a hate crime, yet when the “protesters” in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada spit on people for the last four years they refuse to do anything about it?
A hate crime is a criminal offence committed against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by hate, bias, or prejudice against an identifiable group. An identifiable group may be distinguished by race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.
Almost any type of criminal offence can be motivated by hate. Examples of hate crime offences may include acts of violence or hostility such as an assault (hitting or spitting on someone) or causing damage to property. The key is that these acts intentionally target individuals or property based on the offender’s hate towards the “identifiable group”.
