Police north of Toronto say the man who allegedly brought a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian protest outside of a synagogue in Thornhill, Ont. and fired it last weekend was partly motivated by hate.

Wow, that’s surprising. Usually it’s not hate when I’m looking to nail something.

Usually, but occasionally rarely there’s the hatefuck.

If you get in an argument with your neighbour and put a framing nail into him, that’s assault. If you put that nail into protected minority and it can be proven that you were motivated by bigotry and a desire to subjugate that minority, you are guilty of a hate crime, which is a much more serious crime
