@Stache…did you happen to read that article you cited? And by the way, it is from the BBC, not the FBI. If you want actual stats without actual slant to them you need to go to the FBI.gov website. But back to the foolishness you showed. Wow…where to start!? Okay…let me quote the article that I know you didn’t read
“The rise in hate crimes is attributed to an increase of about 1,000 police departments that are now choosing to report these incidents, the FBI says.” Gee, if more people actually start reporting it, the number goes up. Does that mean there are more than there were? No, it just means they weren’t reported as hate crimes before. 1000 more police departments chose to send in their statistics to the FBI over the past year. Oops….there goes your fact, flying right out the window. But let’s not stop there! Let’s continue using this article to make you look like even more of a kook that you normally do.
“The new report comes a month after 11 Jews were killed by a gunman that burst into their synagogue in Pittsburgh as they prayed, marking the deadliest attack against Jews in US history. The suspect was charged with dozens of federal hate crimes.” Notice anything here? It gives no details about the shooter. He was a nut job and, oh yeah, he hated Trump…felt he was a globalist and not a nationalist. But you probably didn’t know that since this article didn’t tell you that and you would actually have to do more research. What am I saying? you didn’t read (or comprehend) the article you cited, why would you do more research?
The article does talk about attacks on the Jewish are up. But it doesn’t talk about who is attacking them, other than that one reference to a shooting. But we did recently have a Muslim representative from MN that was spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric. And all you on the left defended her. Guess important people spewing hate don’t count if they are Dems, right?
But your article says something different “Jonathan Greenblatt of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, said the report “provides further evidence that more must be done to address the divisive climate of hate in America.” Think a Dem representative spewing hate against Jews could qualify as adding to the divisive climate of hate in America? And that is from the left, not the right….not the POTUS. But there’s more!
“Crimes against Jewish Americans saw a notable increase of 37% over 2016.” That’s 37% during 2016. Who was POTUS? Oh yeah…OBAMA! Trump wasn’t elected until November and didn’t take office until 2017. So who is responsible for this increase? You want to blame the increase on the divisiveness of the country and want to blame that on Trump. Yet your FACTS show that it was, in fact, occurring before Trump took office which means it was the DEM POTUS that led the march of hate crimes against Jews.
I could keep going, but really….why? You are brainwashed to the point that you post articles that shoot holes in your ideas and, in fact, support mine, but can’t see it. Here, let me repeat my statement to you:
“despite the leftist media claim of hate crimes being on the rise in the US, I throw the brown flag on that one. Part of the problem with that claim is that it doesn’t wash out all the unsubstantiated claims, the fake claims, and the claims that were actually leftists as the perpetrators. The left loves to claim that, but they don’t want to actually dig into the data.” Isn’t that just what you did? You provided an article that doesn’t really go into the full details, try to blame them all on the right and on Trump. You think you are providing facts, but your facts and the story that goes with them doesn’t support your theory and proves my point.
