A large percentage of "hate" crimes are in fact staged.
After all, there simply aren't a lot of vengeful people in America today going around attacking someone simply for belonging to another race.
That occurs far more frequently in other countries, but rarely in the US where ALL peoples have an opportunity to become rich.
It is always fun to watch liberals get all excited about the latest example of a hate crime only for it to be a hoax.
IIRC, Dateline NBC tried to "stage" a hate crime at a NASCAR rally by having some hard core Muslims walk through the crowds. The real story was the leaked memo written by one of the female producers, something to the effect that, the more offensive the Muslim, the better. The White Males at NASCAR did not take the bait. The story evaporated.
Does anyone know if this segment ever aired?
