I can't figure out what pisses me off more...

1) that anyone would do this to one of our troops

or

2) that it doesn't qualify as a hate crime because he's a troop.

WTF Dallas?

The Texas Hate Crime Act defines hate crimes as crimes
motivated by prejudice and hatred, including incidents for
which statistics are kept under the federal Hate Crimes Statistics
Act. The federal law defines hate crimes as crimes
that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion,
sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability.

Regardless, it's a shitty thing to have happened.
