Justice Department launches website to report hate crimes in wake of Pittsburgh fatal shooting

“Simply because hate crimes are not reported does not mean they are not happening,” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said announcing the website at a gathering of law enforcement officials.

Mr. Rosenstein said the new website will help the Justice Department and other agencies become more proactive in targeting hate crimes.

If you’re white, you’re automatically guilty so turn yourself in.

They ALWAYS set something up AFTER THE FACT! They are just like the FAA. Wait until you get a plane crash, then announce some ATC policy designed to keep what happened from happening.

Yep, there are many definitions of hate crimes depending on which side of the political spectrum people are on.

The idea of a “Hate Crime” is terrible.

It is “thought crime”.

Considering Jews in Europe are warned to avoid looking like Jews in public lest they be attacked, it sounds like everyone is late to the parade.

Hate is a Motive, not a Crime, in a sane world anyway.
