Motive is different from feelings or opinions
And what society thinks about them changes.
Crime is no more brutal in Texas than elsewhere, and murderers kill their victims no deader.
Considering a person's unpopular opinions about someone as an aggravating factor is a slippery slope that endangers us all.
And your claim that you would do something rough to the perps seems a rather easy way to get out from under the fact that you know this post was aimed at you specifically because of your cheap shot about starched sheets.
