Ok, so last year this stupid kid named Nick Minucci hit a man over the head with a baseball bat leaving him with a fractured skull.Nick is a White and the victim, Glenn Moore, is Black … and Nick allegedly uttered some derivation of the N-word during the assault. With the hate crime enhancement, Nick will serve 15 years in prison for second-degree assault … without the hate crime enhancement, he would served maybe five.
Moore has admitted that he and his friends were in the neighborhood to steal a car so it is difficult to look upon him as a true victim — HOWEVER, he was not attempting to steal Minucci’s car and it seems fairly clear that fracturing Moore’s head with a baseball bat was an unwarranted assault.
(Minucci also has a history of violence including stabbing a man so it is probably safe to assume that he’s a bit of a nutbag.)
All of this aside, what I found interesting was the coverage of events by the New York Daily News.

Look at this quote from Shifrel’s column:
"Moore, who was clubbed and slurred more than a year ago in a crime that sparked headlines, is expected to speak at today’s sentencing of Minucci, who faces up to 25 years behind bars."
Umm … he was clubbed and slurred? Seriously, slurred … when did name-calling become a crime?
Good grief, what’s next? A first grader gets 18 months in County Jail for calling his classmate a Doo-Doo Head? Can you imagine the 6 year-old child of tomorrow?
Billy called me a Doo-Doo Head! He slurred me and I feel offended and oppressed … I’m calling the police and suing this school!
By all means, let’s lock up the loonies who run amok with baseball bats and harm other people … harm as in fracture their skulls not hurt their feelings.
He was slurred … ooh, can you imagine if he was shushed?
