By Teresa Watanabe, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer July 25, 2008 Hate crimes in Los Angeles County rose to their highest level in five years last year, led by attacks between Latinos and blacks, officials said Thursday.
The annual report by the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission showed hate crimes rose by 28%, to 763, with vandalism and assault leading the way.

In what commission Executive Director Robin Toma called an alarming trend, hate crimes based on race, religion and sexual orientation all rose, increasing against nearly all groups -- including blacks, gays, Jews, Mexicans, whites and Asians -- even as crime in general declined.
The largest number of racial hate crimes involved Latino suspects against black victims, followed by black suspects against Latino victims. Latinos also made up the largest number of suspects in hate crimes based on sexual orientation. Whites were the leading suspects in religion-based incidents. Overall, blacks made up nearly half the hate crime victims, totaling 310.

They know a Marxist when they see one. Obama would offer unconditional amnesty and would never crack down on Mexican gangs. He's too much of a pushover.
So why all the hispanic support for Barack Obama?
A good collection of links to other reports, by CKilmer.
So gang fights are not classified as hate crimes. Gee, and all along I thought they loved each other.
I am not disputing your assertion, just wondering how to reconcile two apparently incompatible observations.
cause "hispanics" in Texas are different from Cali are different from Miami are different from New York.
Hispanic can mean some forrest dweller from San Salvador, a business owner from Cuba, a college educated man from Mexico or someone from the Oaxaca..... It's a mish mosh.
The Hispanics from my family included 3 Marines, 2 Navy, 1 Army/Air Force, 2 Air Force and that's just the uncles and my father. Very, very conservative Catholics..... some of my aunts ...very liberal. It's a mix.
The key is to get integrated into the middle class and America, without the BS from "La Raza Unida" or any of the race pimps.
It was explained to me by my pop and my cousins heard it from grandpa and the uncles if you let the government take care of you, you're going to end up like the American Indians and the blacks.
If you work your a## off, then you can be whatever your backbone and hard work will allow you to be.
That's a fantasy promoted by the MSM and pollsters in the tank for Barry.
Let's review the Dem primary results. Hillary! won every state that borders with Mexico - California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, plus Nevada and Florida (states with large Hispanic population), and Puerto Rico.
Hispanics are often battling for the same turf as blacks and most are not going to pull the lever for BHO.
ANd it became one of the few areas you could walk the street at night safely!
I would rather keep living in this God forsaken desert than live in liberal run city of Lost Angeles.
Nothing will be done until the violence reaches into the bowels where the rich casas are located.
If Hispanics hate blacks so much then why is California in the tank with Obamanation?
However, when the MSM needs a scape goat or Jessie, Al and Obama want to blame whitey they throw Race card number 3 the KKK on the front page of the New Jerk Times or Lost Angeles Times.
One guard told me that it was dangerous for vocational teachers to come out and try to teach a trade because they could not combine the blacks and Hispanics in class with out someone getting a shiv in the back.
I stay away from parts of downtown l.a. because of this problem. if you are white, you are dead
there was a white family lost in the area a while back, they were cornered in a dead end street and murdered by black and hispanic gangs, somehow that is not a hate crime.
when the parents and grandparents drove away previous folks of the pale persuasion, often through violence, 40 years ago.
Not all night shootings of gang members are done by gang members.
It’s not “latinos” or generic hispanics, it’s mexicans, and it will get radically worse if we have amnesty.
Pretty obvious.
Obama will give them free everything (for now and future votes) just
to stay in power.
They’re not sure about McCain.
Don’t the feds count hispanics as white people when they perpetrate hate crimes, too? So I expected that the fed reports coming out will say that whites are doing more hate crimes.
Hispanics are federally classified as hispanics when they are the victims of hate crime, though. Yeah, that makes sense.
Not in Chicago..........
I don't know if that's true, but I do know that that the Aryan Brotherhood has a lot of hispanic membership. The hispanic just has to assert that they are a certain percentage white (I forget what %). They had to start doing that because their numbers were so low.
