EXCERPT:
FIGLIUZZI: “So, first, a real quick hate crime charge here on top of the homicide charges. I applaud that, that tells me prosecutors and police, they found quickly what they needed. That means they know this was a biased crime. This is likely, since we’ve heard reports that the subject isn’t cooperative with police, that means they likely found clear and convincing evidence on his devices. If he’s a consumer of the people we just rattled off, from Lauren Boebert to Tucker Carlson, let’s get it out. Let’s get it out at trial, let’s expose it for what it is, name it, and shame it. He’s a consumer of these people and those people should face civil consequences from the victims. The other thing they want to deny is not only the safe harbor but the way we resolve this. And by that, I mean, you asked earlier, how do we put a stop to hate? One of the things you would normally do is teach young children in school, here’s what race is about. Here’s what these other people over here, who may seem different to you, they have a different orientation. But you know what? Increasingly, states are saying, no, no, no, you can’t talk about race, or say the word ‘gay’ or teach anything in school. So, they deny the resolution mechanism that we would normally use.”
