Crimes driven by anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia and other prejudices deserve special attention and warrant extra-tough penalties. As a Jewish community leader who speaks out against anti-Semitism and other hate and it\u2019s outrageous that an extremist like Friedrich, who is also <strong>anti-gun control<\/strong> and against Roe v.
