Another state considers adding homelessness to hate-crime laws

ADVERTISEMENTS
The homeless and the people who care for them successfully implored lawmakers to add homelessness as a category to Colorado?s hate-crime laws.

?Hunting season for the homeless is a year-round event,? said Vernon Lewis, a 38-year-old man who is homeless.

The bill sponsor, Sen. Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, said Colorado ranks fifth in the nation for the number of crimes against the homeless during
a 10-year period.

After an emotional hearing, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 5-4 in favor of the measure. It now goes to the Senate Finance Committee.
