FBI Report: Hate crimes in U.S. reach all time high in more than a decade
Hate crimes in the United States rose to an all-time high in more than a decade according to a report by the FBI.
Hate crimes in the United States rose to an all-time high in more than a decade, according to the FBI.
Federal officials recorded the highest number of hate-motivated killings since the FBI began collecting that data in the early 1990s, according to the report.
Hate crimes in the United States are astronomical
The reports states, there were 51 hate crime murders in 2019.
This which includes 22 people who were killed in a shooting that targeted Mexicans at a Walmart in the border city of El Paso, Texas, the report said. The suspect in that August 2019 shooting was charged with both state and federal crimes in what authorities said was an attempt to scare Hispanics into leaving the United States.
Statistics
There were 7,314 hate crimes last year, up from 7,120 the year before — and approaching the 7,783 of 2008. The FBI’s annual report defines hate crimes as those motivated by bias based on a person’s race, religion or sexual orientation, among other categories.
