Only Whites Commit Hate Crimes


This is Jovon Nicholson, he and two friends targeted hispanics for carjacking and robbery. They have admitted this. They said they felt that Hispanics were less likely to go to police.

Targeting someone specifically according to their ethnicity? Isn't that the very definition of a hatecrime?

Nicholson was charged with murder in the death of Aurelio German Mendoza-Garcia, 46, who was killed when Nicholson tried to steal his car in Norcross on July 8, 2006. Nicholson pleaded guilty to manslaughter in that death, rather than face the murder charge.

He has been sentenced to 35 years, but I notice that there is no indication that he received additional time for the hate crime (GA does have hate crime sentencing).
