Extra-Bad Writing, Thinking, and Whatnot.

Jay Nordlinger's writing about something else, but this is what he opens with:
In the English-speaking societies — which still include America, for now — we have this thing called a “hate crime.” There’s regular old assault, murder, and whatnot. And then there’s extra-bad assault, murder, and whatnot. You know how it works.
Strangely, New York resident Nordlinger is unaware that extra-bad-murder is not a new concept.

It's not really extra-bad enough unless it can be called terrorism.

It's extra-bad only when committed by people Nordlinger doesn't like.

So, if America gets excluded from the English-speaking societies there will be no more hate crimes? Cool, Imma start working harder on my non-English laguage skills to se if we can get there faster. Hasta luego

A person is guilty of criminally negligent homicide when, with
criminal negligence, he causes the death of another person.

Ah, that's how that works.
