The constant hum of the air conditioning units across the street could be heard clearly from Ralph Moss's home. At a word, they were shut off. Sounds of talking neighbors rose through the silence. "My front porch has become my haven, and my haven is threatened," Moss said, sitting on his porch on North Albany Street. "It's so much of a nuisance, I have to go inside and close my doors and windows to get some peace." Moss has lived in the neighborhood facing the east entrance of Beverly J. Martin Elementary School on and off since 1982. The newest...

Woman suspects shooting, sexual assault tied to her activism on illegal immigration EVERETT -- First a north Everett man was seriously wounded when a narrow-faced stranger burst into his home Dec. 22 and began shooting.

Investigators are calling Monday's teacher disappearance a hoax, saying she's responsible for the anti-gay slur spray painted on her garage door, the broken window on her house and the blood and hair found in the kitchen. However, they stated, she hasn't committed a crime and will face no charges in an ordeal that she contends can't remember anything about. "We don't feel like she was abducted. There is no evidence she was abducted," said Capt. Vic Hollifield of the McDowell County Sheriff's Office. "We feel like what we saw at the scene was overkill versus what we usually see with...

Police in the Bloomfield area of Pittsburgh, PA say a 20-year-old Ashley Todd may have been viciously assaulted because she had a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on her car. Sounds like it began as a routine robbery; the robber pulled a knife, Todd gave him sixty bucks. Then the criminal saw the McCain bumper sticker on the woman's car. He beat Todd with his hands and fists. Then, bizarrely, he used his knife to scratch a "B" on her face. Police told local Pittsburgh media that Todd refused treatment. One Pittsburgh news outlet says only that Ashley Todd had the bumper...

Apparently to prove that the US is filled with Muslim hating Yahoos, ABC went on the hunt to find "Islamophobia" in America and the result is "Witness to Discrimination: What Would You Do?" Since they didn't really know where to find any, ABC News decided to create their own prejudice against Muslims by hiring an actress to put on Muslim dress and get "confronted" by a Muslim hating coffee store server -- also an actor hired by ABC. Then, they rolled the cameras, opened the doors to the public and, viola, ABC "found" prejudice in America.

Discrimination: New FBI data on hate crimes reveal Muslim groups are crying wolf about exploding anti-Muslim abuses. They're actually shrinking, belying claims of mass Islamophobia.Not only are anti-Islamic hate crimes way down, but they're a fraction of overall religious hate crimes. The overwhelming majority of such crimes target Jews, something CAIR and other Muslim groups don't seem all that concerned about. In 2006, a whopping 66% of religiously motivated attacks were on Jews, while just 11% targeted Muslims, even though the Jewish and Muslim populations are similar in size. Catholics and Protestants, who together account for 9% of victims, are...

I admit, I occasionally forecast what I think will be an upcoming outrage. I take what I know about the left, factor in past events, take a current event, and try to prognosticate an explanation. I made such a prediction a few weeks ago in Racist lefties and their nooses: A likely outrage. Provocative, and yet strangely, it felt like a no-brainer.Well, they haven't wrapped up the noose cases yet, but we do have proof now of another leftoid nut faking hate crimes, this time swastikas at GWU:GWU student journalist admits hate crime hoax GW Student Who Complained of Anti-Semetic...

A noose was left hanging from a tree limb near a black cultural studies center on an American college campus.

SANTA ANA, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, calling an intimidating letter sent to thousands of Hispanic voters "a hate crime," said Saturday the Republican candidate whose campaign it was linked to should quit the race if he had anything to do with it.

During a re-election campaign swing through Southern California on Saturday, Schwarzenegger met with a Hispanic business group in Orange County, where the mailing has infuriated Latino...

Paul Mirecki -- the Kansas University religious studies professor who derided Christian fundamentalists as "fundies" -- is a strange man with strange tales of alleged persecution. Contrary to his knee-jerk defenders on the Left, it is not bigoted, hateful, or intolerant for me to scrutinize his story. It's rational. The professor first created controversy in November after penning an unhinged e-mail message expressing his desire to deliver a "slap" to the "big fat face" of the "fundies" by teaching an intelligent design course "as a religious studies class under the category 'mythology.'" The message was sent to the mailing list...

The grievance industry went into overdrive last month when burned Korans were reportedly discovered at a local mosque in southwest Virginia.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - More than half the suspects fired upon with Taser stun guns are Hispanic, according to a report commissioned by the police chief. The finding prompted civil rights groups to claim the city's police department is unfairly targeting minorities. Police chief Rob Davis said the figure makes sense because it matches the rate at which Hispanics are investigated for crimes. Hispanics accounted for 52 percent of the arrests and citations issued by police during the period studied and 53 percent of the 110 stun gun uses. The police department on Friday released its first comprehensive report...

A Heber City motel owner accused of setting his business ablaze and portraying it as a hate crime will stand trial on first-degree felony aggravated arson charges, a 4th District judge has ruled.
