My problem with the term 'hate crime' is that it sounds like George Orwell's 'Thought Police.' In addition to the punishment for a crime committed, you can be given additional punishment for what you were thinking. Acording to the Canadian Criminal Code a hate crime is one "motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor." It is unclear what the motive was for the original beating or the murder, but since she was different than the others in the group, it can be considered a hate crime.

Killers on strike why?

I have never heard of this before. Maybe it should read 'killers strike again'? I could find nothing on killers on strike. Perhaps it was incarcerated, convicted killers striking about something in prison. If killers in the community were on strike, it would take a while for the drop in the murder rate to make it evident. 'Why' would be the best part of the question.
