Explosion of Hate Crimes In New York City — Over 50% Target Jews and Asians

Why are Jews and Asians increasingly targeted in the New York City that has been laid waste by Bill de Blasio? It isn’t because of the “white supremacists” that Biden’s henchmen keep telling us are the biggest terror threat we face today. Video after video demonstrates that the perpetrators of these hate crimes are from the groups that are constantly told by the Left that they are victims: victims of “systemic racism” and worse. These hate crimes are directly incited by Democrat class-hatred and race-hatred rhetoric, as well as its vicious anti-Israel propaganda. The responsibility for these hate crimes is sitting in Gracie Mansion, the New York City mayor’s residence, until the end of this year.

“NYPD Data Shows Explosion Of Hate Crimes In New York City, Over 50% Target Jews And Asians,” by Ian Haworth, Daily Wire, December 8, 2021:

According to the New York City Police Department, hate crimes in New York City have skyrocketed by 100% compared to last year.

On Tuesday, the NYPD announced that there were 503 reported hate crimes this year as of December 5, which is up from 252 in 2020, representing a 100% increase.

“On the flip side of that, which shows the great work our hate crimes task force is doing, our arrests are up 106%. So on that 503 incidents, we’ve made 249 arrests on that,” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.

“We have to shine a very bright light on this, and then making sure that everyone knows that when you do something like this, number one, you’ll be held accountable. But number two, it’s not acceptable, not only in this city, but anywhere,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said.

Below is a breakdown of the targeted groups, comparing the number of incidents during the period, January 1, 2021 to December 5, 2021, compared to 2020:

• Asian: 129 (2021), up from 28 (2020)
• Black: 30 (2021), down from 34 (2020)
• Disabled: 0 (2021), no change from 0 (2020)
• Ethnic: 7 (2021), up from 0 (2020)
• Gender: 20 (2021), up from 13 (2020)
• Hispanic: 7 (2021), up from 0 (2020)
• Jewish: 183 (2021), up from 121 (2020)
• Muslim: 12 (2021), up from 4 (2020)
• Religion: 8 (2021), down from 12 (2020)
• Sexual orientation: 85 (2021), up from 29 (2020)
• White: 20 (2021), up from 10 (2020)

“What we are seeing is anti-Asian really increasing both by percentage and the raw number. I think when you look at anti-Semitic and anti-Asian, that’s over 50 percent of all of the hate crimes in New York City,” Shea said Wednesday. “It’s the same old song in terms of what we’re seeing. We’re seeing a little bit of mental illness. We’re seeing just disregard for common decency.”

“When you have mass amounts of people put back on the streets that have traditionally been held in jail, you’re seeing some of that permeate here as well. I mean, that’s just a fact. It’s a fact that people don’t want to talk about, but when you … have people that have no regard for others, and expecting them to change their behavior dramatically. It’s not working out,” he added….
