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).

The definition can be found by googling or yahooing “Hate crimes”. There is a page from the Justice folks explaining the criteria.
Most hate crimes are crimes with the box checked for the “hate” definition. Then the report explains why it matches the “hate” definition.

So you can see how the stats don't help.
