Question for Indiana Libertarians and conservatives:
One year in jail + $10,000 fine for speaking one's mind.
Is this "social tolerance"?
Watch 2-minute video, then answer.
HB 1076 would provide a greater penalty for insulting a homosexual outside a gay nightclub than punching an elderly grandmother outside a hospital (unless the grandmother happened to be a lesbian).
By specifying specially protected persons against bias (such as national origin) it excludes others (such as state origin) by default. Calling someone a dumb Mexican will be constituted a hate crime. Calling someone a dumb New Mexican will not be constituted a hate crime.
While Libertarians are to be praised for their support of human rights, they should object when those "rights" replace liberties.
