During Biden’s pathetic press conference, he didn’t get one question about the surging crime (including hate crimes) in big, Democrat run cities. In New York City, last year under De Blasio the cown, hate crimes against Asian-Americans surged by a whopping 343%. Hate crimes against Jews were up a whopping 700%! The ones comitting these hate crimes aren’t exactly the usual media boogeyman of the “MAGA hat wearing white supremacist” either.
Since “tough on crime” Eric Adams took over as New York City’s mayor, crime continues and hate crimes show no signs of slowning down either.
New York City hate crimes complaints rose nearly 100% in 2021 and several types of bias crimes also skyrocketed – in some cases more than 340%, police statistics show, as the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says he is expanding his office’s hate crimes unit to address the uptick in racially motivated attacks.
Bragg, who took office at the beginning of the year, was speaking at a vigil for Yao Pan Ma, a 61-year-old Chinese immigrant who died on New Year’s Eve – more than eight months after he was the victim of a hate crime attack while collecting cans in East Harlem.
Jarrod Powell, 49, was subsequently arrested and charged with attempted murder and hate crime assault. Advocates attending Friday’s vigil called for the charges to be upgraded to murder.
Fox News Digital was first to obtain the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) total year-end hate crime statics, which show reports of anti-Asian attacks skyrocketed by a staggering 343% – from 30 in 2020 to 133 in 2021.
And reports of anti-Hispanic hate crimes soared 700%, with 8 last year compared to the single incident in 2020, the NYPD said. But reports of anti-Semitic attacks accounted for 38% – the plurality – of the hate crime cases covered by the NYPD last year.
In all, the NYPD received 538 reports of hate crimes last year – up 96% from the 275 in 2020.
