A northern Idaho prosecutor won't bring hate crime charges against an 18-year-old accused of shouting a racist slur at members of the Utah women's basketball team during the NCAA Tournament. Have you heard of this story?

The deputy attorney for the city of Coeur d'Alene wrote in a charging decision document that though the use of the slur was "detestable" and "incredibly offensive," there wasn't evidence suggesting that the man was threatening physical harm to the women or to their property. That means the conduct is protected by the First Amendment and can't be charged under Idaho's malicious harassment law, Ryan Hunter wrote. Do you agree with the decision that the speech is protected under the First Amendment?

Idaho's hate crime law only makes racial harassment a crime if it is done with the intent to either threaten or cause physical harm to a person or to their property. The man who shouted the slur told police he did it because he thought it would be funny, Hunter wrote. Do you think racial harassment should be a crime even if there is no intent to either threaten or cause physical harm to a person or to their property?
