Why do I get a feeling that no matter what happens, it will be called 'staged' or 'fabricated', or that everyone doing something bad is "professional" or paid to do something. That kind of conspiracy talk has Breitbart written all over it. Get used to it.

Maybe but new techniques like the Portland police highlighting the arrested mug shots that show almost all the criminals as white men in their 20's that represent democrats.

Highlighting that many of these crimes are professional criminals who travel to cities to riot and are even paid will continue turning the democratic party brand into criminals which will turn off even their base. Why do democrats think this will work?

Oh, geez, I should have know the Southern Poverty Law Center would be responsible for this alarmist nonsense. If an actual news source and not hacks known for partisan extremist garbage starts taking these cases seriously, we'll discuss it.
But again, I'd bet many or most of these crimes are bogus or done by those wanting to frame Trump supporters. If your enemy won't give you cause to hate them, do it yourself and blame them.

Turns out (Surprise, surprise!) that they are mostly fake.

"The narrative emerging of a rash of Donald Trump-inspired hate crimes is populated by hoaxes, as Elizabeth Nolan Brown points out at Reason. A Muslim female student in Louisiana had her claim of being assaulted by racists in Trump hats went viral — until she admitted she made it up. A young San Diego Muslim woman’s tale of being targeted for theft by Trumpers didn’t quite hold up. A supposed gay bashing by Trump fans in Santa Monica is falling apart. Same goes for a supposed racist attack in Delaware and an anti-Asian incident in Minnesota. “Less dramatic acts of racism . . . do seem to be bubbling up more frequently this week,” she writes. But that’s “a world apart from the wave of ‘hate crimes’ and violent attacks that many are conjuring up right now.”

Graffiti and stuff of the words-will-never-hurt-me variety are common to both sides in every election's aftermath. Nothing to get bent out of shape over.

Without video, I don't believe it. How many racist acts turned out to be hoaxes? Show me videos or confessions and maybe I will believe.

Our neighbors are the same people they were a week ago. If they treated people with respect a week ago, they still do. If they did not treat people with respect a week ago, they still do not.

If that woman is racist now, she was racist a week ago. The election of Trump did not convince anyone. Nobody wakes up one morning and tells herself, "Hey, how about trying to be a racist, it is fashionable and trendy." It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

What will President Trump and his Administration do to show he is bringing folks together rather than catering to some folks' specific, dark agendas? That’s the confusion point.

Because most of them will be staged or fabricated. Yes, it really is that simple.

Because it happens too often. Remember the mosque fires after the San Bernadine attack? They went on all across the country and the media barely even talked about the victims of the attacks from worrying so much about all that Islamaphobia. Then a fire was set at a shopping center mosque that just happened to have surveillance cameras at another store, and it was a mosque member. All the sudden, we didn't hear about any more mosque fires.

The poop swaztica at Missou that not one person ever thought to take a picture of (really?) that got a university president fired.

Several instances of black activists posing as white supremacists calling or writing threats to black people that were caught.

Don't you see? It's like what happens when people make false rape accusations. It makes it harder for real incidents to be believed.

Reports of racist graffiti, hate crimes post-election/

Racist Incidents Are Up Since Donald Trump’s Election. These Are Just a Few of Them

Hate Crimes After Trump’s Election Happening Across the Country

To those who voted for Trump, this is what you voted to support, if only indirectly. Maybe you didn't mean to vote in hatred and bigotry, and I get that, but you should have done your homework on what was really driving too many people to support Trump. Mark my words: more lives will be destroyed by right-wing bigots in the next four years than will be destroyed by the anti-Trump protests.
I bet 99% of those stories are self inflicted or made up.
even then, it pales in comparison to what proud Trump supporters are being subject to.
