A horribly-relevant point.
I also find it strange that no details were given on how they came to that conclusion.
It's all going so well: San Diego State Investigates Robbery Incident As Hate Crime

It's going to get a lot worse. There is no doubt about it.

Gotta love how they simultaneously denounce stories of minories attacked and use the video as evidence minorities are dangerous. In both instances of attacks to and from Trump supporters, that was the behavior Trump and his campaign supported. They wanted people afraid and hateful. It's working.
Embarassing... cowards.
What the hell is going on America?
So you're allowed to openly jump an old man because he exercised his right to vote? Jesus...

I'm a white male, but my wife is half hispanic and half asian. I'm scared to death for her as she works downtown in Indianapolis and has to walk over a mile from a parking garage to get to her job. I don't know how to cope with being this worried about her simply getting to work...

I'm hoping people get bored of violence by this time next week
It's not gonna happen, is it?

Story has no context. We don't know why they jumped him or if he even voted.
Seeing as hate crime keeps rising in the UK. The majority believed the lies of racist bigots and they won. I would say nope.
Didn't realize this about the UK. What a sad world we live in.

Across two jobs, 90% of my coworkers have been black or hispanic high school students. I don't even know how I would react if one of them became a victim of this swelling violence.
This is sickening.
This is sickening.
lol@mob beating, car theft, and dragging him with his own car needing context or mattering who posts it. btw situations like this, though not quite as horrific, were happening for months. just go check youtube and youll find plenty of videos of trump supporters getting harassed and beaten when leaving rallies. both sides have a lot of horrible people.

Imma be real, I live in MA in Boston so I don't exactly expect to see or especially be targeted by a hate crime but if I see any shit like that happen, I am straight up retaliating.
Sorry. No excuses. You start pulling at a lady's headscarf or threatening her children I will put you down.

Did you watch the video without the sound or something?
My friend, it's not on you for letting it get this far. You've already done enough. This might be a relevant read http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/fuck-everything-and-blame-everyone-1788754876

A good friend's Asian wife was grilled by one of her students - children students - if she was here legally today. The fuck is this.
If nothing else, it'll draw into stark reality that the Union is slowly falling apart
I'm still baffled that Donald wasn't charged with something while he was campaigning.
I mean it's ridiculous how much he and his supporters wanted to arrest Clinton while Donald is charged with over 100 crimes (and many more which he should).
All the talk about freedom and justice is ridiculous if you actually saw what he did.
Many people with late night shows like John Oliver, Seth Rogers and Steven Colbert showed regularly him much of a "lying", "crooked" and many other things he said actually apply to himself.
It's just shocking how many things he said and did was not having any bigger consequences while meanwhile the FBI news about Hillarys Server blew up.
Every time I've heard people making Hillary bad was just crazy if you compared to what Donald did.
Also like any other regualr job you should be qualified which donald clearly wasn't and even worked with some really dubious people in the past, present and very clearly in the future.
Also its ridiculous that there is no rule that you need at least 5 years of experience in politics to even apply as a president.
This whole thing will have a negative impact worldwide, that's for sure.
This mess shows how broken the United states really is and will open a new dark middle age to the country.
Literally any awfull human being has a chance to be a president in the us now.
And now more and more people will openly be terrible to more people just because they're not like them.

The masks and facades are finally coming off.
I'm starting to realize how dumb these extremists are, what happens when you are making groups of nationalities your enemy at the same time? How stupid can one be to make multiple enemies at once?

No statistics on this yet, so yada yada selective filtering whatever this is from just five minutes of looking through my Twitter feed.
This is fucking terrifying
There is no racism in america nothing to see here.
I'm just sad honestly hearing/seeing all these incidents 
What has become of such a great country (I'm an international student living here).
Then again, this probably means it never really was that great. Thank fuck that I had to only live iin the great north west and Western Texas

Nah. Americans took back control and immediately Muslim women have been freed from the yoke of oppression that is the freedom to choose what to wear when they leave the house.
Truly, this is a great day.
Because it's true. I spoke with other Trump supporters and showed them the pictures in this thread, and they were all really excited and happy about it. There were no exceptions.
I also showed this video of three young black men beating a Trump supporter to fellow Democrats:
https://twitter.com/kmscodi/status/796554667748716545
They also loved this video, and agreed we needed more of this kind of thing, all around. Especially loved the part where he is held to the car and dragged alongside!
Now, for real, if you look at the upset reactions here in this thread to that video, is it really that hard to imagine that most Trump supporters would be sickened by the terrible shit that some asshole Trump supporters are doing? Or is everyone that supports Trump that extreme and bloodthirsty?

I hope that Obama signs/passes something similar to hate crime that not even Trump will be allowed to touch before he leaves office.
Just because that Trump is elected president, doesn't mean you're given a free pass to do some fucked up shit like that.

But don't talk to your kid students about politics! They're too young to understand! Parents brainwashing them into bigots, that shouldn't be challenged though!

This video is nothing. A lot of people are gonna die over the next 4 years in random attacks. The new president is lenient towards white supremacy and actively sought support from white supremacists. The system didn't protect us from that so don't expect people to honestly debate whose fault it is.
It's not even a Democrat vs Republican issue anymore. It's just 2 sides and whether we like it or not we'll be forced to pick one no matter what shitty things they do.

I'd expect a serious increase in domestic terror attacks in the next few years.
You can only press down on something so hard, before it shoots back up, and that is what is going to happen across the nation now that trump is in charge. Minorities will not take this standing down, too many of them have already been down that road, it's a road they did not win. They have tasted freedom, and every ounce of hate directed their way will only make them crave it more. You cannot beat this with fear.
I can't help but remember Syria in 2011, when Assad proceeded to gun down scores of innocent protesters for voicing their concerns. In a span of few months, a country which most thought was stable and united, turned into a brutal quagmire of death for now over 5 years. The people their didn't see the government or police as their friends, but their enemy. A sentiment that is becoming alarmingly common with groups from both sides.
I only pray President Trump has the ability to deal with the unrest in a way that doesn't doom us all. Sadly, I don't think he does.

He's just going to blame it on a minority and they will believe him and mobilize agaisnt them

This is nothing new, minorities have known this for ages. The US is built on the rape, murder, pillaging, enslavement, segregation, lynching, and systematic oppression of nonwhite bodies and what you're seeing is white supremacy unmasked.
