Gay Bashing In Colorado Springs .. Mayor Won't Sign Resolution Denouncing Hate Crimes

[musicman2229]

In my never ending quest to give the other guy the benefit of the doubt, I have to wonder if there is perhaps another reason, other than the mayor and city council being bigoted pigs, for them to not call this a hate crime? Without any background in law, I have to wonder if, since it's an ongoing case and they don't have the ability to declare a guilty party, if somehow the perpetrators got off they could then sue the mayor or council for defamation for preemptively calling it a hate crime? Just wondering if it could be something like that...
