Legislators who advocate projected classes are dim-witted. There is no need for any protected class whether it is for a racial, sexual orientation, religion or transgender class. A crime committed against anyone whether they are a "protected class" or not is a crime and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Discrimination against anyone whether they are a protected class or not is ignorant, and only through public awareness, time, education and enlightenment will you overcome such ignorance.
Question: What if a transgendered person commits a crime against a minority, which protected class takes precedent? What if a protected-class person commits a crime against a non-protected-class person? Can the protected-class person claim special rights and use them as an excuse for committing the crime?
I discriminate against stupidity only. I don't hire the stupid or vote for stupid legislators like Liz Bobo, Guy Guzzone, Frank Turner, et al., who vote lock step with their fellow Democrats without individual thought.
Wise up, Howard County delegates, stop passing more and more feckless legislation and focus on cutting spending and making Annapolis more efficient.
