– A Hate Crime

Hate Crime or then again defined as the Bias Crime or a Crime of Prejudice. What other compelling reasons could have been there for the suspects to perform such a horrible act other than glaring hate and anger unto the victims.

As a point of discussion, foreign experts, the Federal Bureau of Investigation for one, is inclined to believe that a perpetrator of a Bias or Hate Crime undergoes a precedented stage of depression, anxiety, humiliation, stress, rejection, betrayal and anger or even fear which often pushes them to project a series of actions to compensate or address such defect. These are but few which compromises the "crime dynamics". From a common person’s standpoint, this may be simply perceived as, a retaliatory process by one against another over a serious personal circumstance.

The perpetrators in the Talisay Chop-Chop Case seemingly as it is, had one or more of the above crime dynamics making them more capable in performing the act collectively. One crucial element that affords an aggressive reinforcement to Hate Crime Perpetrators is the element of "opportunity". It is under the same reason that perpetrators in prominent hate crimes statistically point out to someone acquainted or actually even lives in the same territorial boundaries of the victims. On the side of the suspects in the Talisay case, it can be gleaned that one of the suspects holds a form of relationship and actually even dwells in the same place with that of the victim. And like any other violent crimes, it only took them the so called "stressors" that triggered the perps to initiate the kill and the consequent dismemberment of the bodies in an inherent intent to conceal the crime.

In other countries where law enforcement deals with such crime almost in the same level of aggressiveness as common crimes, Special Law Enforcement Agencies in highly urbanized cities are in fact have long been organizing a Working Unit built exclusively to mitigate Hate Crime Incidents. The percent probabilities of such here may not be as alarming and could be lesser. Nonetheless, the police taking the lead in this case did a commendable act through the timely apprehension of the suspects with a collaborative effort of the community. Hate crimes may occur in random. But then again, it is never a guarantee that such crimes would not reoccur, for a simple fact that prominent massacres did take place in the country and right within the unexpectedly safest places we call “home”. No less importantly, it is in this contention that the crime dynamics could have been revolving in the mindset of the perpetrator as the crime unfolds.
