A press release Wednesday by the U.S. Attorney in charge of the federal prosecutor's office in Massachusetts, Rachael S. Rollins announced the rollout of an "End Hate Now" telephone hotline (emphasis added):
The "End Hate Now" hotline [1-83-END-H8-NOW] is dedicated for reporting hate-based incidents or potential criminal activity. Massachusetts residents and visitors are encouraged to call the hotline to report concerning or troubling incidents of hate, potential hate crimes, or concerns regarding individuals believed to be espousing the hate-filled views or actions we learn of far too often in the wake of mass shootings and/or acts of hate-based violent extremism. Callers are encouraged to leave their contact information but may remain anonymous….
...
A sound means for a prosecutor's office to investigate potential violent crimes or vandalism? (Though saying, for instance, "killing [police officers / Jews / my ex-wife] is completely morally justified" is constitutionally protected speech, if such a killing had actually happened nearby, prosecutors might reasonably want to look into whether the speaker actually acted on his beliefs and didn't just express them.) A tool that, if indeed effectively publicized, would chill public expression even of constitutionally protected speech by people who have no plans for crime? Both? Neither? I'd love to hear what people think about this.

There is this old guy who whispers and sniffs little children. Every time he is seen, he utters hate among the other incoherent statements. You guys need to get after him.

Perhaps someone should have called and had Jon Stewart arrested a few days ago for his hate filled spew against Prosobiec.
Massholes is a perfect nickname for these “people”.
Pretty much all the hate is coming from the woke. This is another bad idea.
Maybe we need a dept of bad ideas.
I hate this idea
OK, start reporting leftists, because they dwell upon hate.
Report any Democrat
The mass shooters recently have been known wolves.
The state did nothing.
This latest from this US Attorney is about protecting the public safety the same way climate change policy is about protecting the planet and CoupFlu policy is about protecting the public health.
I Hate Democrats! THERE , I just self reported.
