Paul, it's a safe bet that some bigots feel emboldened by Trump. That's not his fault. Hilary got the endorsement of communist groups, and communism has killed tens of millions of people. No one would say she is connected with that.

Also, some of the actual "crimes" have been faked. Probably a small percentage. But how the hell do you defend against that?

I don't blame it all on him but when you call for a complete ban on Muslims (and then later say from only certain areas) that helps get people riled up. Hilary got the endorsement of communist groups, and communism has killed tens of millions of people. No one would say she is connected with that.I think Scott mentioned Communists and linked them to Dems w/in the past few days. Trumps disavoing the KKK was half hearted. He did retweet tweets from Daily Stormer.

I guess some feel threatened by what they are hearing and think that is an effective way to fight back. If found, they need to be charged (as I think most of them have been).

Those being charged are the ones that actually filed a police report in conjunction with it. they are being arrested for filing a false report.

that doesn't stop people from making false accusations and then posting about it on Social media and letting the rest take its course.
