Show Notes
Beaufort County, South Carolina, is taking strides towards implementing a local hate crime ordinance, mirroring laws in nearby areas. The measure aims to criminalize threats or intimidation based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and similar factors. The county council, after hearing pros and cons, plans to draft their own version to cover unincorporated areas and Hilton Head Island. Additionally, they intend to urge state lawmakers to pass a statewide hate crime bill, as South Carolina is one of only two states without such a law.
