I think that, in the case of Brian Milligan, it's definitely a hate crime. If the situation was reversed--if you had 10 white men beating a black man who was dating a white woman--it would have been charged already, and everyone would have assumed the obvious (that it was racially motivated) right from the start.

I agree that it's definitely a hate crime, though apparently hate crimes are harder to convict. Is there truth to that?
