Hong Kong man jailed for 10 years for killing of homosexual
Quote:
Hong Kong - A 22-year-old man was on Tuesday beginning a 10 year jail sentence in Hong Kong for the killing of a homosexual man he claimed had made a pass at him. Cheung Yau-kong, appeared in court Monday after being found guilty of manslaughter by a majority of six-to-one at Hong Kong's Court of First Instance last Thursday.
Cheung killed butcher Chan Mow-sum, 67, in April 2003 by smashing his skull with a flashlight after Chan tried to touch his groin, said a report in the South China Morning Post.

It is. The proposed hate crimes bill in the US would have levied a higher sentence -- after all, a death was the result. Except the bill does not envision prosecuting flashlight attacks.
