Mr. Speaker, I withdraw the comment.
Let us say, for instance, I am upset about something and 10 other folks here are upset about something and I call the police. Now those police officers have to respond to my complaints with respect to a hate crime. That is going to compound the whole aspect of response times for police agencies when they have much better things to do. They have extortion, homicides, assaults and traffic collisions to deal with, yet they are going to be pulled away from those to address complaints coming into the office based on people's perceptions of hate. Adding hate crime legislation is going to cause a bottleneck that we do not need.
