twitterHate Crimes Rose 8 Percent in 2006
Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2007 | 3:11 a.m.
CRIME SURGE: Hate crime incidents rose nearly 8 percent last year, the FBI reported Monday, as civil rights advocates increasingly take to the streets to protest what they call official indifference to intimidation and attacks against blacks and other minorities.
MOSTLY RACIAL: More than half the incidents were motivated by racial prejudice, but the report did not even pick up all the racially motivated incidents last year.
REACTION: Still, the Jena, La., incidents and other racial incidents around the country have spawned civil rights demonstrations that culminated last week at Justice Department headquarters.
