Hate crimes are up 17%

Harris L Hate crimes, News media, Trump bigotry November 14, 2018 1 Minute

I blame Trump for a large part of it. His hateful, bigoted speeches and tweets hive riled up the bigots in his cult. I also blame Fox News and other right wing outlets.

Their influence was clear in the recent bomb mailings and synagogue mass murder. And no, the answer is not more people with guns.

According to newly released FBI data, law enforcement agencies reported 7,175 hate crimes occurred in 2017, up from 6,121 in 2016.

Hate crimes are a much bigger problem than even the new FBI statistics show because the reporting of these incidents remains uneven and inconsistent. @jameshohmann https://t.co/BScpYjd01X

The FBI just released its annual report on hate crimes in America and it contains glaring omissions.

The murders of Srinivas Kuchibhotla, Heather Heyer, and the Portland MAX train stabbings, are not included in the report.https://t.co/3mY5PHlT1S
