ACLU slams bill

Sirli said that the clause
could be widely abused: "It has
no standard for perceived
motivation," he said.
Honigman contended that
many cases will arise when the
circumstances and evidence
presented won't be clear but
that the judge will distinguish
the cases that "are on the border
of prosecution.
Under the proposed law, the
victim also would be able to col­
lect triple damages in civil law­
suits and demand an injunction
against future acts.

The legislation is a r ponse
to an upsurge in bia -m tivated
crimes, Honigman id. That
nti-semitic crim in eas is
spelled out in statisti rei d
by the Anti-D f mation
League, onigm said.
Incidents of thnic vandalism
have more than doubled since
1986 to total 35 cases, according
to the League.
The League said that such in­
cidents range from the burning
of Jewish synagogues to wall:s
marred with racial slurs and
swastikas.
Tagging the measure a
"strong statement of the values
of our societies," Richard
Lobenthal, the League's
regional director, hailed the
bill's deterrent effect.
"I think that you have to ap­
preciate that ethnic vandalism is
against the person and the
group," Lobenthal said.
"The bill expresses the con­
sensus of society that irs abhor­
rent ... an effort of intimidation
... ," he said.
The bill's creation also was
motivated by the June 19, 1982,
beating death of Chinese­
American Vincent Chin.
Ronald Ebons was charged with
manslaughter and not first -de­
gree murder.
During testimony, the un­
employed auto worker said that
the beating was sparked by out­
rage at the Japanese auto
market. Ebons said that Chin
was mistaken for a Japanese­
American.
Honigman said that as long as
such incidents continue, there
will exist a call for such legisla­
tion.
