Days after Barack Obama’s Nov. 4 victory, Mohammed Razvi and Rabbi Bob Kaplan scheduled a conference call with community leaders to discuss concerns that hate crimes could rise.
On election night, a black Muslim teenager was assaulted with a baseball bat by a group allegedly shouting “Obama,” and a New Jersey couple found a burned cross on their lawn.
“The kids in Staten Island were on the prowl,” said Razvi, of the Council of Peoples Organization, echoing prosecutors. “How did they learn this?”
Razvi, who advocates for South Asians and Kaplan, who works with the Jewish Community Relations Council, are working through We Are All Brooklyn on an anti-hate education campaign aimed at young people. Eighty percent of hate crimes are committed by people ages 13 to 23, Kaplan said.
Delores Jones-Brown, director of John Jay College’s Center on Race, Crime and Justice mentioned other postelection incidents, such as the Maine convenience store that had an assassination betting pool. The economic recession will exacerbate bigotry, she said. Police should be more vigilant, she said.
“This kind of time, when things get tough, they say ‘the other’ is the problem,” Kaplan said.
The Ministry of Propaganda is up and running
The Feds track hate crimes.
You would think the press would be interested in checking the actual stats before printing drivel.
The hate crimes being committed by the homosexuals since the election are out of control. Something needs to be done. The people have spoken. The homosexuals need to live with it and stop all the hatred.
There should be absolutely no such thing as a hate crime anyway. It is crime, pure and simple, regardless of motives.
Tawanna Time, all the Time.
What, no mention of Black Panthers with nightsticks?
Yeah, we gotta put all those white folks in camps so they can’t harm us!
Over 78% of American Jewish voters voted for Obama.
So... what's the problem?

You racist! (lol)
78% of US jews are big libs, that’s the problem.
The liberals (of all stripes) got what they voted for! Enjoy the Utopia. We conservatives, on the other hand, are going the concealed carry route!
That’s funny, the people I heard about from some witnesses in my town were high fiving each other saying “YES!” and then intimidating people by asking “Who’d YOU vote for”.
But they can have a “Red State” scare if they want. If they want to believe there are racists under every bed. People who voted against Thugs & Plugs because of “one reason” only.
It’s the Communism, stupid.
They'd been watching homosexual activists on TV.
Does the Fed track hate crimes like these?

Sacramento Bee ^ | 11/17/8 | Jennifer Garza
For the past two weeks, Sacramento leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been on high alert. They are hiring extra security to watch over the Folsom temple, and asking members to drive by church buildings late at night. Mormons in law enforcement are keeping track of Internet chatter to find out where protests will be held. “Our members in law enforcement know where to look for this kind of stuff,” said Lisa West, spokeswoman for the church in the Sacramento region. She added that they are doing this on their own time. “There’s a lot...

A Carlsbad jogger was assaulted when he tried to prevent people from removing “Yes on 8” campaign signs Tuesday morning, police said. The man was in the area of Aviara Parkway and Cormorant Drive about 10 a.m. when he said he saw two men removing the signs, police said. The signs are in support of a California proposition that, if passed, would define marriage as only between a man and a woman. Police said the jogger confronted the men and was assaulted by one of them. The victim’s hat and glasses were pulled off and his glasses were smashed on...

He was doing this in broad daylight on a public road...so I turned my truck around and hauled it down...
An Election Day Dirty Trick to Watch For: Distributed Denial-Of-Service Attacks

I’m leaving blow-by-blow coverage of election results to the approximately one million sites that will be looking at them in detail all through the night, but in the true spirit of election day, here’s a really nasty trick to consider. As an article by Scott Berinato in this month’s Wired magazine describes, distributed denial-of-service attacks can shut down the web servers of companies and organizations within minutes, even if they’ve taken measures to protect themselves. How do they work? Hackers penetrate inadequately protected computers (yours?) and install software (a “bot”) that hides in the background until it’s triggered by a...

A sign in a pickup supporting the Nov. 4 proposition that would ban gay marriage apparently provoked a 15-year-old boy, who attempted to torch the vehicle and was later arrested for arson and vandalism Wednesday. Witnesses reported seeing juveniles throwing lit paper into the truck parked near the high school, LBPD Sgt. Jason Kravetz said. Police later learned the pickup’s owner was visiting Laguna to watch his daughter in a sports event. Officers arrived to find the smoldering remains of a fire in the bed of a Ford 150 pickup. Firefighters made sure there was no further risk. “The responding...

During this somewhat contentious election season, the point has been made that some parts of our country are more “anti-American” than others. I wholeheartedly agree. Particularly those parts where the population consists of so-called Americans who follow a doctrine of white supremacy that spreads hatred and promotes violence against African-Americans, gays, Hispanics or any groups they deem inferior. That would include the two men from Tennessee and Arkansas arrested over what federal authorities described as a fantastic plot to conduct a racial massacre that would have left dozens of African-Americans dead, including Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

MEXICO CITY, October 23, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Mexican-American movie star Eduardo Verastegui has begun campaigning against California’s homosexual “marriage” law, and is incurring the wrath of Mexican homosexuals as a result. Following Verastegui’s reported decision to lead the campaign for the Hispanic organization “Viva la Familia” (Long Live the Family) enraged members of “Tri Gay”, Mexico’s self-proclaimed “gay soccer selection” expressed their displeasure against the pro-life, pro-family actor and entertainer. At a press conference on October 22 in the offices of Mexico’s Secretary of Health, the team denounced Verastegui. The vice-president of Tri Gay, Eduardo Velasquez, tore up a picture...

Florida Congressional candidate Eddie Adams Jr. (R) was admitted to Tampa General Hospital Sunday suffering from severe burns on the hands and arms. He will be undergoing additional skin grafts Tuesday. A vandal tied a mattress to the underside of Mr. Adams pick-up truck. Friction with the road, and contact with the catalytic converter combined to ignite the bedding. As he drove down Busch Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, onlookers began to wave and shout
It’s the Justice Department. It means even though they track hate crimes and publish the stats you can’t get any real information from looking at them. That would be too easy.
The way it works is they compile data from agencies that report crimes listed as hate crimes according to a standard set of criteria. See http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/hcrvp.htm
Most hate crimes described by victims accompanied violent crimes - a rape or other sexual assault, robbery, or assault (84%).
In about half of hate crimes, the victim was threatened verbally or assaulted without either a weapon or an injury being involved
So in HALF of the crimes (verbal or assault), there was no weapon or injury involved.
BUT 84% were accompanied by violent crimes (rape or other sexual assault, robbery, or assault).
I don’t see how these numbers make ANY sense.
I didn’t see the criteria of “hate crime” and did not see any stats that tracked crimes against Republicans (by political belief).
For those who didn’t get the memo: a hate crime is defined as any crime committed by a White person against anyone who isn’t White. By definition, a White person cannot be the victim of a hate crime.
“For those who didn’t get the memo: a hate crime is defined as any crime committed by a White person against anyone who isn’t White. By definition, a White person cannot be the victim of a hate crime.”
Sounds like thirties Germany doesn’t it?
