This took me by surprise. Georgia is one of five states that doesn't have laws related to hate crimes. Given the simmering prejudice that is still prevalent here I suppose I'm not too shocked. It took us literally years to rid our state flag of the Rebal flag. All, of course, in the name of "preserving our heritage". Many were not taken in by that particular canard.
