Attacks in places as disparate as a Buffalo market and an Orange County church suggest rage is a new normal. What happens next is critical.
San Bernardino. Poway. El Paso. Atlanta. Buffalo.
But when looking at those and other incidents collectively, everybody from advocates to conservative law enforcement leaders sees the same hard truth:Experts describe the current spike in the number of hate-driven conflicts – from events as big and horrific as mass killings to as personally intimidating as name-calling – as nothing short of a national crime wave.
“Whether it was Poway, where the focus was religion. Or Buffalo, where it was race. Or national origin,” he added. “We’re not going to tolerate hate.”Statutes that define hate crimes, and agencies that track hate crime trends, are relatively new. But hate crime, even if it wasn’t always legally labeled as such, is as old as America itself.
In 2012, seven people were killed and four others injured when a White supremacist opened fire inside a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. And in 2001, two days after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a Sikh business owner was shot dead outside his gas station in Mesa, Arizona, by a White man who believed he was killing a Muslim. That killing was the first known hate-based murder in the wake of 9/11.
