Hate crime
« on: April 06, 2016, 09:01:17 PM »
Would you file a police report if a taxi pulled up next to you and started cursing at you and saying derogatory things about you being jewish or whatever religion or race you may be?

But underreporting hate crimes (assuming this is one) does a disservice to everyone.  It's important that these statistics are tracked.

If he doesn't do anything? No. They hate us; get over it. (If I were black and expected America to be mine and my descendants ultimate destiny I'd file reports and do what it takes to make sure it doesn't continue indefinitely. As a Jew, I consider this to be a temporary stop; and I won't try to make myself completely accepted in a place I don't belong anyways, as long as it's not affecting me.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Sounds like you had something. I was once walking on the street and had someone yell at me "dirty Jew!". I shrugged it off as a friendly reminder that I'm in golus, and that I shouldn't make myself too comfortable around here cuz we're gettin outa here veeeeery soon!!!  :)

Why??
Proper demographic allocation of law enforcement personnel?

If that was a concern, then yes it should be reported.

In the future, just smile back, be silent, & walk away.
That's the best revenge.

Love you

Ironically I was about to take a picture of a store that buys gift cards for cash for someone before the hate crime occurred.

Why would you file a police report when there was no crime committed?
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

A nice thank you amd a big smile always confuses the hell out of them. They can't tell if you misheard them or are brushing it off.
I'm not who you think I am.
