Votes please. SORRY I MESSED IT UP. NO POLL
The fact that a thug used a health campaign as an excuse does not make it a hate crime - the thug is still a thug.

Having said that, I despise the way the media is being used to try to manipulate public opinion and social behaviour - it is not education, it is brainwashing.
