Some idiots have been deliberately posting things on the internet or even sending things directly to known sufferers of epilepsy that triggers epileptic fits.
I have a friend who would say they hate their neighbour because he's (to use my friend's words) a knob. So you're saying my friend couldn't be accused of a hate crime dispute admitting the deep hatred he has because you have to be in a protected group and being a knob isn't protected??

What a strange world we live in.
