Alabama + Zero

From the Alabama Legislature's website:

    Under existing law, additional penalties are imposed against a person if the offense committed is motivated by the victim's race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability.

    This bill would provide for those additional penalties for a crime motivated by the victim's sexual orientation.

You know what's coming, right?
