NEW YORK (AP) — The FBI says hate crimes reports were up about 17 percent in 2017, marking a rise for the third year in a row.
An annual report shows there were more than 7,100 reported hate crimes last year. There were increases in attacks motivated by racial bias, religious bias and because of a victim’s sexual orientation.
The report, released Tuesday, shows there was a nearly 23 percent increase in religion-based hate crimes. There was a 37 percent spike in anti-Jewish hate crimes.
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker says the report is a “call to action.” He says the offenses were “despicable violations of our core values as Americans.”
The FBI says although the number of attacks has increased, so has the number of law enforcement agencies reporting hate-crime data.
So Donnie is effective at accomplishing something. MAGA!
Or rather, MAORA! (make America openly racist again)
FBI: 17% Spike In Hate Crimes In 2017 Marks Rise For 3rd Year In A Row
And what could possibly account for that, boys and girls? It is a true conundrum.
Deplorable. Simply deplorable…
This is the result of †Я☭mp 's hate, 110% on him. He gave license for the racists to act out their views since they no longer feel alone and isolated. They have come together and can attend the current version of cross burning (MAGA rallies) and rally with like minded people.
The press really ought to be much rougher on Trump about his rallies, put his supporters on TV, not Trump. Let their hate show. That is the news.
and P.s. †Я☭mp 's racist administration has not only caused hate crimes to surge, it has also hurt the US’s competitiveness. For example, today the annual report of foreign enrollment in US colleges came out. new enrollments are down to 272K from 301K in the last year of Obama. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/report-finds-new-foreign-students-are-dwindling-renewing-questions-about-possible-trump-effect-on-enrollment/2018/11/12/7b1bac92-e68b-11e8-a939-9469f1166f9d_story.html?utm_term=.b6c0627d06f5 There are similar things going on with tourism, but CBP is trying not to release the figures. These things damage the economy.
Hate crimes began before moron, think OK City bombing, Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc. but have accelerated because he encourages it. In 2009 HHS issued a report about domestic terrorism, it got shot down by right wingers.
