Were there actually any reported hate crimes, or is this just rumors and confirmation bias? People are definitely on edge today, but I felt it more from the Clinton supporters.
(I know of the swastika graffiti in Philly, but that could have been from either side.)
- groundshop 10y agoMy wife is an instructor at University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Yesterday all faculty/staff/students got an email about a girl who was assaulted. She was walking down a street close to the university. Two white men (one in a Trump hat) pulled up next to her in a car, hopped out, hit her over the head with something then stole her hijab and wallet. http://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/crime/2016/11/09/ul-student-robbed-wallet-hijab-near-campus/93572808/ http://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/crime/2016/11/09/ul-...
