72. Both should be felonies.

Most hate crimes are felonies, and because the assault and battery was part of that hate action I'd like to see it upgraded to felony also. We are never going to get past the racial issues in this country if we keep giving folks slaps on the wrist when they act out like this.

But I am not a lawyer ... so just an opinion.
