Not sure: a crime is a crime, whether the person is disabled, colored, gay or none of those. That's different from hate speech towards a certain type of people.
According to Wikipedia: - in the US "laws prohibiting hate speech outside of obscenity, defamation, incitement to riot, and fighting words are unconstitutional" - in France (where I'm from) "hate speech laws are matters of both civil law and criminal law, protecting individuals and groups from being defamed or insulted because they belong or do not belong, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion, a sex, or a sexual orientation, or because they have a handicap."
