What is going on?! I feel for this guy!

my understanding is that the burden of proof on a hate crime is hard to prove, it's not worth getting this thrown out just to make a political statement. If the woman doing the hitting said "go back to Mexico" and this man was actually FROM Mexico, in my opinion, she didn't say anything wrong. Attempted murder is cut and dry - assuming they can find these people, which they haven't yet been able to do.
