The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations on Sunday called on the state and federal authorities to charge Mr. Brafman with a hate crime, which increases the potential penalties for an offense, based on his stated intentions. The fact that his victims were not of Palestinian descent does not change the nature of the attack, the group said.
“It is the alleged shooter’s reportedly bias-motivated actions, not the actual ethnicity of the victims, that should be the determining factor for charges in this disturbing case,” the council said.
