Fran Lebowitz Says Hate Crimes Are Thought Crimes

And shouldn't be against the law. What says you?

We already have thought crimes. It's called First Degree and Second Degree murder, which are based on intent, which means they have to figure out what was in your head at the time, whether you knew right from wrong. Next.

OP, you just basically THREAD CLOSED your own thread. What on earth? Did the massive smackdown you got last week for claiming COVID was overhyped cause lasting cognitive damage?

I've always thought she was kind of a cunt but I still like her. More or less.

More less than more, now.

Any law student (or person with some sense), can tell you that she is wrong. Being racist or homophobic is not a crime, putting into action , even if by words, is.

i think she looks like Larry King with a wig on

Illegal actions (should) have legal consequences.

Fran is smart and funny.

She is also attention seeking and will say outrageous things to stay current/relevant.

Similar to Truman Capote.

The issue with hate crimes is that the penalties are enhanced because of the motive.

by Anonymousreply 11November 21, 2020 12:06 PM

Has she ever experienced the joys of getting her clit licked?

by Anonymousreply 12November 21, 2020 12:07 PM

Hate crime legislation doesn't punish a person for a "thought" or even for the "hate" in itself; it adds to the punishment because the crime committed against one person implicitly threatened an entire group of people. Perfectly normal and precedented.

Fran should go back to composing labored aperçus on salad and menswear.

I agree that we can never know the thoughts of another person and crime is crime no matter what they are thinking.

As a youngster I used to hang on her every word. She was so witty and sophisticated. The older she got, the more bitter and disillusioned she seemed. She still seems quite intelligent, so I do pay attention when she holds forth, but I’m no longer a fan. This just seems like a Faux News red herring. Very 1990s.

by Anonymousreply 16November 21, 2020 1:07 PM

Add the link of her full statement or thoughts so we can read it and respond.

by Anonymousreply 17November 21, 2020 1:32 PM

She has classic dyke mouth. Why do their mouths end up with that permanent downward scowl? It's like the mouth got frozen mid-twat lick.

Free speech forever. Britain is daft AND scarily Orwellian on that!

HER QUOTE: "Almost all things that are hate crimes are already crimes. Otherwise, hate crimes become thought crimes. The beating up part is the crime, not the thinking part."

She's a dumbass. Bombings can be hate-crimes, too. Bombing people because they're different is a Federal offense. Bombing your boyfriend's house because he dumped you, is not a Federal offense.

Is completely logical. She is parsing the definition.

She reminds me of Sandra Bernhard. The kind of ugly that no amount of surgery can fix.

There’s video of her saying exactly this and the quotes are correct.

She said it doesn’t matter if the victim is gay or Jewish.

So you’re against first and second degree murder. What if the person literally says they’re going out to kill fags because they’re amoral?

Fran also tells gays to settle down with how they go on and on about homophobia through history because it wasn’t slavery.

Fran has not been relevant since Jimmy Carter was in office.

There are a lot of things I agree with Fran on but she isn’t a genius by any means. She didn’t even finish high school and she admits to be the laziest person in the history of the world and loves telling us how she doesn’t own a computer, a cell phone or a microwave. Basically she’s not part of the real world. Take that into consideration when listening to her.

by Anonymousreply 29November 22, 2020 1:02 AM

The quote above is what she said and there’s a video of it but it’s in the middle of some interview and it’s hard to find now. You know how she talks for three hours non-stop. To go through all the interviews would be a nightmare. She rambles.
