Hate Crimes

Why do people hate each other? Nobody really knows. Some say it’s because of a lack of insight. Some say it’s because of fear. The fact is that some do hate others so much that they can’t even sleep at night. Reasons may be many and varied, methods may be legitimate or illegitimate, but we have to live with the fact that there is hatred amongst us and crimes are committed for it. Some of these crimes make use of state of the art technology available at the given point of time.

Scientific revolution has not brought any discernible change in human behavior patterns. We used to kill each other with stones in the distant past, now we would make use of more deadly weaponry to do that. Nothing has really changed other than the destructive power in our hands.

We progressed from the nuclear arsenal to that of the non lethal weaponry. This is the perfect setting for committing invisible crimes. At present if we have the needed amount of pull and enough dough we can erase our opponents in subtle ways. We would never be caught and prosecuted; no one would point a finger at us and say they saw we commit these acts.

Hate crimes were always there in the world. Othello was hated for the goodness in him and was destroyed by his most trusted friend. Well you can say that it is fiction, but stories do not spring out of nowhere, they originate from real life events, however blown up they are by artistic imagination. All sorts of people go into making a world.

Hate crimes have always been a menace, now it is more so with the sophisticated weaponry people can access to.

The use of such weapons need be regulated and methods invented to bring the culprits in such crimes to book.
