This article passed my feed, and thought I would share.
I can see many aspects of this, but would love the community's opinion.
I believe we make similar "recommendations" for action under the UCMJ based on this concept, therefore the parallels exist.

No. Essentially convicting someone for crimes they haven't committed is a rabbit hole I don't want to go down.
I am less averse to identifying people with dangerous mental illness and getting them appropriate care, but even that needs controls.

In my opinion, NO. People should be judged on their actions and intent, and not on their thoughts, ("hate" crimes), or upon someone else's assessment, or prognostication if what could, or might happen in the future.
