You still believe the letter was real?
Still no answer from SSS. Let me help...

The only people being attack where MAGA-wear is involved are the people wearing it, and most of the attacks seem to be by adults on children.

Teen girls verbally accosted by councilwoman
Of course the Covington kids incident.

Your research seems to be very spotty:

Yea for you. You found two folks misbehaving in a crowd at a political rally. Pretty benign compared to out of the blue attacks on children minding their own business. But yeah, congrats on the find. :roll:

You're 2nd example, there was no MAGA-wear. And he was not the first agressor ("one man tried to pull down the banner").

You had to go back almost a year to find those two instances you mentioned. The El Paso incident was last week.

"Reported". Since this thread is still alive... stuff may not have been reported previously
Also, statistics indicated reported hate crimes increased 2015 onward. That's Obama era. I'll try to find citation.

New FBI Statistics Show Alarming Increase in Number of Reported Hate Crimes
Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released hate crime statistics for 2017 revealing a disturbing increase of 17 percent
The overall decrease in reported hate crimes motivated by gender identity bias in 2017 is largely due to a 31 percent decrease in incidents targeting gender non-conforming people.
hate crimes motivated by anti-religious bias increased 23 percent, largely driven by a 37 percent increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes,
Looks like the real increase is isolated to anti-Jewish stuff and well all know, with a small exception for a few white nationalist types who may or may not vote Republican, most anti-Jewish stuff comes from folks who identify as Democrats.

I'ma just leave this here:

"Chicago police said Wednesday they believe that “Empire” star Jussie Smollett made up claims that he was the target of a racist and homophobic attack — and evidence against him was being presented to a grand jury.

“Case Update: Jussie Smollett is now officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation by #ChicagoPolice for filing a false police report (Class 4 felony),” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted.

“Detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County Grand Jury.”

Under Illinois law, Smollett could face up to three years in prison if charged and convicted of the crime.

The stunning announcement came about 30 minutes after two Nigerian brothers who have said Smollett paid them to help stage the incident were escorted into the grand jury offices at Chicago’s Leighton Criminal Court Building.

Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo were surrounded by about a half-dozen people in civilian clothing as they walked into the secure area on the fourth floor of the courthouse."

Jussie Smollett turns himself in on claim of making false police report, Chicago police say
Jussie Smollett, the "Empire" actor and R&B singer who told Chicago police he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack on a downtown street last month, is now in detectives' custody, according to a spokesman for Chicago Police.

Anthony Guglielmi, chief communications officer, shared early Thursday morning on Twitter that Smollett had been placed under arrest. Guglielmi told The Associated Press that Smollett turned himself in at central booking.

"Jussie Smollet is under arrest and in custody of detectives," Guglielmi posted. He added "Supt Eddie Johnson, Commander of Area Central Detectives Edward Wodnicki will brief reporters on the investigation prior to the defendants appearance in court" at 9 a.m. at police headquarters.

I didn't so much think he was going for a pay raise as he was trying, in the wrong way, to send a message that gay-bashing is bad. It is in ENTIRELY the wrong way, in case I was not clear.

My bet is that he will not serve any time if he pleads out, as that is common for first offenders in many charges. Save the taxpayers some money by skipping a trial, do some community service, and hush up for a few years, would be my preference for his future. But it's OK with me if he does 30 days locked up, too. You can't just stir shit up and then walk away with no penalties.
