It’s not often that hate crimes end so poetically. But two recent stories offered up nearly perfect — even comic — portrayals of justice at work.
Kevin W. Harpham, the would-be terrorist who intended to bomb a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade last year in Spokane, Wash., has been sentenced in federal court to 32 years in prison.
Anti-Muslim hate crimes soared by 50% in 2010, skyrocketing over 2009 levels in a year marked by the incendiary rhetoric of Islam-bashing politicians and activists, especially over the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque” in New York City.
A Pensacola, Fla., clinic at the epicenter of anti-abortion violence for nearly 30 years was firebombed and destroyed by a homeless man in January.
In the first case of its kind, a federal grand jury in Cleveland on Dec. 20 indicted 12 Amish people on hate crime charges for cutting the hair and beards of other Amish men and women, a form of religious degradation they allegedly viewed as punishment.

Last November, the FBI arrested four men in Georgia, members of a militia group who were accused of a wide-ranging plot to attack cities and blow up federal buildings.

The swelling “sovereign citizens” movement lost a leader when LeRoy M. Schweitzer, 73, died of apparently natural causes at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colo., on Sept. 20. He was serving a 22-year sentence for crimes related to the longest police standoff in U.S. history.
An alleged plot by members of a Georgia militia is only the latest to target law enforcement officials for death.
