Court: Yelling ‘I Hate White Women’ While Punching a White Woman Magically Isn’t a Hate Crime

Apparently hate laws only work one way…

Via Mediaite:

On November 1st, a woman ironically named Lydia White was outside a Calgary pub when a woman asked her for a cigarette. White gave the woman the cigarette, but the woman’s friend Tamara Crowchief walked up to White yelling “I hate white people” and hit her in the face, knocking a tooth out.

Crowchief walked away, but White followed her and called the police. During her arrest, Crowchief (who is Native American) told police that “the white man was out to get her.”

But The Calgary Herald reports that Judge Harry Van Harten did not buy the Crown’s theory that the attack was a hate crime, clearing Crowchief of that charge.“There is no evidence either way about what the offender meant or whether… she holds or promotes an ideology which would explain why this assault was aimed at this victim,” he said. “I am not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that this offence was, even in part, motivated by racial bias.”
