A common element in hate crime hoaxes is no perpetrator is ever arrested. [[Leftist]] [[mainstream media]] often sensationalize hate crime hoaxes as symptomatic of some underling social condition that only a particular political party or piece of [[legislation]] can address. Another common element of hate crime hoaxes is public shaming of a group outside of a legislatively defined protected group.
