96. To the victim the motive doesn't matter physically.

You're beaten just as badly.

Then again, maybe it does. Being the victim of a crime will involve mental suffering, and that will be different based on knowing they beat you because they were just crazy versus they did it because of something you are. It might be easier to get past that if it was that the perpetrator was nuts and hearing voices in his head and it had nothing to do with you, versus it was someone you know who attacked you, versus a stranger who attacked you just for being gay/minority/etc.
