    Sadly, the odds of getting a conviction

    They can easily get assault, but a hate crime requires proving intent and having a jury sympathetic to the victim

    It’s a shitty situation

      A group of strangers started harassing her and using anti-gay slurs as she left the restroom

      Sounds open-and-shut hate crime to me.

        Now convince a jury of stupid, ignorant yanks of that.

        Edit: I live in Australia

          There are no Yanks in Illinois. That’s the Midwest. We’re in the Northeast (though ignorance is not regional).

              Canada too.

              Y’all down there in Red White and Stupid land can complain all you want about “yanks” meaning all the US considering you’ve co-opted “American” to mean the same thing.
