No one is saying they are not human (straw man). Aren't thieves or murderers human as well? This is a weak argument frankly.

  I think a lot of people consider murderers as less than human, and reflect that in the way they talk about them and the punishments they should face. I think a lot of people consider homosexuals as deviants and in some way less than human, also. They might not say it openly but they think it.

      >That's another straw man fallacy. My opinion is that a lot of people think murderers are less than human, full stop. I don't know how my opinion can coherently be described as a fallacy when it's what I believe.
