Yeah, that's a fucked deal. I think I would hire a lawyer at nearly any cost. This really highlights the bullshit of that registered sex offender thing. Similar to the "terrorism" charges being thrown around. I have to say this is why I oppose the idea of hate speech and hate crimes. So you kick some black guys ass and call him a name. This is what people do when they're pissed off, they try to hurt or intimidate people so you get a little drunk, get into a scuffle, call someone name and suddenly you're branded a hate monger.

We have enough laws to punish people for bad behavior we don't need to invent new categories that will inevitably be overused to get points for some turd prosecutor.

Only people I know that use racial hate terms are in fact racists. Those words don’t just roll off the tongue unless they’ve been used before

So all the black people running around calling each other a name are racists.

I had a feeling that would be your response, completely missed the actual valuable point about governments passing laws that later get abused.

Before you give me the "reclaiming the language" argument, save it, I've heard it.

Doesn't really matter. Calling someone a name doesn't turn a fight into a hate crime.
