The reason that this even needs to happen is because of backwards localities that do not prosecute to the fullest extent because of their own biases. People literally get away with murder because "that damn (insert slur here) got what he/she/it deserved". No violence is acceptable, but this is a way for the fed to step in and provide justice to families who are hurting who otherwise can't get it.
Sure, like all laws, it will inevitably be interpreted poorly, but it fills a major problematic hole in our justice system and takes control out of the hands of localities. Imagine the difference between being tried by jury for lynching in a backwoods Alabama town, compared to say... San Francisco. This evens the playing field, no matter how backwoods a place the crime occurs.
- I agree with your first part, but I don't think this is a solution. If anything it might exacerbate it...ismith
