Ah, apologies zing - I misinterpreted what you posted. To be honest, I'm inclined to agree with you - using this specific case as the example, racial motivation or not is completely by the by. At the end of the day, someone has died as a result of someone elses actions - we already have laws covering murder and manslaughter and, in some cases, additional causes (be they real or implied) can, in some cases, only serve to muddy the waters.
