Fine, then I want BillyBob punished more for targeting fags than for targeting someone in particular. "Fags" is more than one victim, and Sasha just happened to be the one he chose that night. I have no problem feeling that if BillyBob wants to beat up fags, Sasha will be first ... and Remington will be next.
Similarly, and perhaps I reveal my bias here - - I want Malike who shot and paralyzed my nephew to be punished MORE because he was in a gang and just decided to shoot into a crowd of school kids at a bus stop. His intended victim was Paul AND OTHERS. And I have no problem feeling that if Malike is willing to shoot random strangers for his gang ... Sam will be next.
