Race based crimes seem to be on the rise.
Race-based hate crimes spike in D.C.; whites most common victims, but under-reporting feared
Race-based hate crimes jumped in Washington, D.C., last year even as most other types of bias crimes decreased, with analysts saying such incidents could be vastly underreported among minority groups uncomfortable coming forward to authorities.
D.C. police say that of the 18 race-based hate crimes in 2013, the majority of victims were white and the majority of suspects black. The number of incidents was up from the 13 race-based bias crimes reported in 2012.

Of the 18 victims of race-motivated hate crimes last year, 10 were white, four were black, two Hispanic, one Asian and one of another race, according to D.C. police.
General mistrust of police among minority communities or language barriers among foreign-born populations could be reasons that victims don’t report, Mr. Friedman said.
“In the case of the District, there are very few hate crimes reported against Latinos and Asian-Americans,” he said. “But it would be wrong to conclude that there are none occurring.”
According to many of the political left, crimes against whites by minorities can not be considered as “racist hate crimes. This makes no sense whatsoever, when there is a tendency to for the left to automatically suspect any white on black crime, or officer on black incidents to be because of racism. Yet, as we all know, there has been an enormous rise in “Knock-out Game” attacks, usually perpetrated by Black youth on Asians or Caucasian victims including Jews.
‘Knockout Game’ Attacker Assaults Three Within 15 Minutes
New Jersey Police are on the look-out for a man who allegedly committed three separate “knockout game” punches within a 15-minute time frame. The victims sustained bruised jaws and bloody faces. The assailant was described by police as a six-foot or taller black man with an athletic build wearing a Brooklyn Nets hat.
The so-called game is actually a dangerous and sometimes fatal sucker punching of unsuspecting people by violent perpetrators with the intent to render the victims unconscious. The “knockout game” has flourished over the last year and is predominantly carried out by African American teens against whites, Asians, and frequently members of the Jewish community.
According to The Record, a 54-year-old man in a supermarket parking lot was blindsided with a punch to the face, knocking him to the pavement and causing a laceration to his face. Approximately ten minutes after the assault, the same alleged perpetrator attacked a 57-year-old man from behind, punching him on the right side of his face and jaw.
In Ferguson, it has now come out that Brown savagely attacked the white officer who ordered the two black youths to get out of the middle of the street. There are also around a dozen witnesses who disagree with the claim of Brown’s criminal cohort’s claim that Brown was “surrendering” and instead their statements support the report by the officer that Brown turned and attempted to charge the officer. As Brown had already beaten on the officer, nearly into unconsciousness, (if these dozens of other witnesses are correct,) the officer would have been fully justified in defending his life by shooting Brown before he could continue his attack. With the attitudes of Eric Holder and Obama, is it possible that some “bad-boy” black youth feel more empowered to perpetrate racially based attacks on others? Do they think that the Zimmerman -Trayvon coverage will now give them the advantage of public sympathy?
Current MSM press coverage over the events in Ferguson would seem to support such a conclusion.
