Trump-Inspired Ethnic Intimidation/Hate Crime in Michigan..

The Tuscola County Sheriff's Department is investigating a case of ethnic intimidation stemming from an incident at a home on Smith Road in Koylton Township.

Investigators say a person of Mexican decent lives there.


The wording was about Donald Trump taking back America and Mexicans suck. They also found a doll made of balloons hanging nearby and vulgar graffiti spray painted on their driveway.

The Tuscola County Sheriff says, "This is a crime. This sort of thing will not be tolerated.

After widespread worry over a supposed spike in election-adjacent hate crimes last year, many of the alleged incidents turned out to be hoaxes or misunderstandings. Now new data from the FBI further undermines the idea that 2016 saw a sort of crime wave spurred by prejudice.

There were 271 more incidents deemed hate crimes in 2016 than the previous year, according to the latest Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data. There were also 257 more law enforcement agencies reporting last year, so that increase could largely or even entirely be a matter of getting more complete statistics. The higher numbers mostly represent small increases in incidents classified as anti-Hispanic, anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, or anti-white.
