Police in Derbyshire are investigating an arson attack on a medieval church as a possible hate crime.
Not being a communist, I fail to see the relevance of hate crime legislation. Surely this arson attack should be treated the same as any other arson attack, regardless of the motive. To put it another way, if this arson attack is to be treated more seriously than any other arson attack, then it should be with regard to the scale of the damage, and not to the possible motive.
To all communists out there, if there's something I'm missing here, then please leave a comment below. Why should any crime be classified in terms of a possible motive? What purpose does it serve?
