  Hate crimes are just a terrible thing, dealing with a perpetrator victimizing another because of an aspect of themselves. Bill Lockyer explains how he has helped fight this.

Whether the reason is due to skin color, sexuality, gender, religion, or any number of other qualities of a person, it is sadly an all-too-common thing, growing more prevalent in recent years, perhaps most notably the 2017 ‘Unite the Right’ protest that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a number of prominent white supremacists and Neo-Nazis gathered.   Bill Lockyer  has a history of pushing against hate crimes, and he discusses how he employs various tactics to succeed at this.
