A CALL FOR GA LAW MAKERS TO MAKE A STATE HATE CRIME LAW

  • by: THE CITIZENS OF GA
  • recipient: THE STATE OF GEORGIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE
Georgia is one of only five states that does not have a state hate crimes law.
With a state hate crimes law, local law enforcement personnel — police, investigators, first responders, prosecutors — would have the ability and authority to investigate an alleged hate crime.

If Georgia had its own hate crime law that included sexual orientation and gender identity, there would be more training directed at the local level to investigate potential anti-LGBT crimes.

WITH THE RISE OF BULLYING, FIGHTS, KILLINGS, SUICIDE  AND GANG PERFORMING HATE CRIMES, THE STATE OF GA NEEDS TO BE TOUGH ON OFFENDERS, MAKING IT A FELONY AND A MANDATORY PRISON SENTENCE OF AT LEAST 6 YEARS.
