Why is she not charged for a "hate crime"? The elderly couple were white. If the roles were reversed or if the victims were gay she would have been!

FORT WORTH, Texas - An elementary teacher is accused of attacking an elderly couple at a mall during a field trip.

Fort Worth school officials said Brenda Jones Stafford, a fifth-grade teacher, was placed on administrative leave earlier this week.

Stafford posted bond and was released from jail Saturday after her arrest at an Arlington mall. Stafford, who faces a charge of suspicion of injury to the elderly, declined to comment.

She's accused of choking and pushing a 71-year-old woman in a food court after they argued and spat at each other. Stafford had been moving chairs for her group and apparently kept hitting the elderly woman's leg.

Then Stafford is accused of shoving, hitting and choking the woman's 73-year-old husband when he tried to intervene. Police said the couple didn't need medical treatment.

I bet she cannot spell any better than she fights

Obviously, I don't see any grounds for a hate crime.... a STUPID crime on the other hand.  GUILTY!

Just imagine if  "stupid" was a crime.......

we could help our population problem if it was worth the death sentence

The population problem will be ignored until we are all packed like sardines, because it can't be blamed on factories, big oil, and the wealthy.

Yeah, maybe there should be a special category for "stupid" crimes. A worthy addendum to out legal system, I would think.
