Second Front-Page Headline. "HATE CRIME VIOLENCE SURGES". Once again dementia don has made himself well-known in a headline. SHOCK &AWE?

Hate crimes against people are at an all-time high. Hate crimes against property still exist but it's the tartgeting more and more of people that is so worrisome. Will you be next? Surely there is something very hatable about you to someone somewhere who has an ax to grind. Will it be leveled at YOUR head or a neighbor's?

Do you carry a loaded weapon and let folks know you are carrying? Ever shoot someone dead who tried to hurt you? What does killing someone feel like? I know if it is self-defense it ain't called murder right? Even so kill or murder the target dies. Small comfort to anyone which it is.

    And tactic of the left. False misleading news/headlines. 

    When in doubt call them racist and blame Trump. 

    Hate crimes dropped last year.  This post was edited by my2cents at November 13, 2019 7:08 AM MST

    You're disputing that hate crimes have increased?  I seen you're no more acquainted with facts this morning than on any other morning.

    Hate crimes dropped. Yes that is a fact. Not by much. But there were 55 less hate crimes in 2018 (report just released) than 2017.

    If you put in "hate crimes" in your browswer, you'll find endless articles on how they have increased.

    No, it has not decreased.  I don't know what you're looking at, but it has increased


    "The FBI reported 7,175 incidents of hate crimes     in 2017 (the most recent data available). The number of offenses presents a 17 percent increase from 2016, and an uptick for three consecutive years from 5,479 incidents in 2014."

    Your are looking at 2017 compared to 2016. I am talking about 2018 (newest data) to 2017. And hate crimes are down...slightly. (My source is FBI.gov not biased news org. 

     https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2018-hate-crime-statistics-released-111219 

    Law enforcement reported 7,120 hate crimes to the FBI’s UCR Program last year, down slightly from the 7,175 incidents reported the previous year.

    "Looking at cities individually, 70 percent of the cities reported an increase from 2017 to 2018, and slightly less than half hit a decade high, Levin said. The cities that recorded decade-high hate crimes include Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Austin, San Francisco, Fort Worth, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Louisville, Sacramento, Miami, New Orleans, and Cleveland."
