Great Job De Blasio: NY Hate Crimes Spike 83%

As a result, New York politicians and community leaders have put pressure on Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio for more funding to somehow 'eradicate' hate crimes.

A spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes accounted for a majority of the increase, with those complaints rising from 50 to 103, or 59% of all hate crimes during that period, according to the NYPD.

Experts disagree on the reasons behind the rise in crimes, but NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said at a news conference earlier this month that many individuals arrested for hate crimes have previously committed similar acts.
Other data reported by the NYPD show that arrests for hate crimes are rising even faster than complaints, as police aggressively pursue cases both new and old. -Wall Street Journal

 "Office of Hate Crime Prevention" is so Orwellian, it sends a shudder down my back.
