Seems to be your favorite tactic. Rather than discuss an issue you choose to attempt a polarization by the most extreme hyperbole possible. In case you have never noticed, our justice system codifies transgressions. Thus we have not only a distinction between felonies and misdemeanors, but also degrees of felony etc. As a result, if your criminal robbed the poor box at a synagogue (I really don't know if they have poor boxes or not) and they broke up some furniture doing so, and spayed anti-semetic graffiti on the walls, they would be guilty of a hate crime and be equated with those bad boys that indeed committed some heinous crimes.
Keep in mind that if our law makes distinctions, if common law makes these distinctions, then you might assume most of the correspondents on these boards are capable of making these distinctions. If you realize this, you should feel embarassed to realize how insulting your juvenile tactic becomes.
