I guess I don't understand the distinction of a hate crime vs terrorism. I would think hate crimes are a subset of terrorism and not a lessor charge.

- throwaway729 10y agoIn theory, it's possible for hate crimes to not be terrorism. Kill someone because they are a certain color, but have no intent for any end goal beyond killing that one person. In practice, that probably never happens. Hate crimes almost always coincide with the intent to terrorize the target population.
