Hate crimes in California shot up 33% to nearly 1,800 reported incidents in 2021, the sixth highest tally on record and the highest since after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, the state attorney general's office said Tuesday.

Attorney General Rob Bonta said that crimes against Black people were again the most prevalent in 2021, climbing 13% from 2020 to 513 reported incidents. Hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation bias increased nearly 50% to 303 incidents while crimes against Asian Americans were up 178% to 247 incidents.

Video of attacks involving Asian American victims, particularly seniors, went viral last year with San Francisco police in January reporting an astonishing 567% increase in reported crimes from the previous year. The initial count showed 60 victims in 2021, up from nine in 2020. Half of last year's victims were allegedly targeted by one man. Still not all criminal attacks carry a hate crime charge since prosecutors need to prove the suspect was motivated by bias.

In May, a white gunman killed 10 Black shoppers and workers at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. A steep rise in anti-Asian bias since 2020 included the March 2021 killing of eight people at Atlanta-area massage businesses, including six women of Asian descent.

But you support this guy? recallgascon

RobBonta Bonta's solution is to not show or review the criminals identity and releases them after 'zero-bail' policy. He'll then give personal identifiable information of legal guns owners away so criminals can steal. Bonta then will say 'see we need more gun control laws'.

How come the 29% increase of Anti-Latino hate crimes is not being reported in the news media? Again Latinos have been overlooked by the media!

It's been crazy here in California. We had a Black woman attack a Latina woman, mistaking her for Asian. We also had an Asian man attack an Asian woman, mistaking her for White. Identity politics ruins EVERYTHING. Don't hate anybody. Be kind to one another.

Sounds like a violent place, maybe people should arm themselves

RobBonta Methinks many folks like the attention and the sense of urgency this is attracting but, alas, nothing will happen or change unless city and state attorneys prosecute criminals. Keep blaming Trump though...

RobBonta

RobBonta Maybe, if District Attorneys would enforce the law.

This AG proves that gun control is dangerous and you should never register anything.

BontaResign POSAG WhatAnIdiotDA

Why would you release private gun owners information BontaStepDown

RobBonta This guy is disgrace… a C student that believes the right stuff… such is California these days. Too many pathetic people leading and voting this state.

RobBonta Why are you doxing law abiding US citizens? If you are going to dox someone make it bad guys dum, dum.

RobBonta Also can you please breakdown the demographics on the anti Asian hate crimes? Or does it not fit the headline…. God these people are the absolute worst. They hate Californians

RobBonta What's your cell phone number? I hope the people you exposed are good shots when your cronies come to steal their weapons. May make the others think twice.

RobBonta doxes all legal gun owners. ooooops

RobBonta It’s unbelievable this guy released the names and home addresses of gun owners. Insane

RobBonta Resign.

RobBonta And if you hate people who legally own guns and follow the rules then you can dox them and expose them, all while letting those who have no intention of following laws, have guns that are not registered/legal, who wreck havoc/harm in the public. You sure are a disgrace!

RobBonta You violated the safety of every concealed carry permit holder in LA Releasing the names, home addresses, driver's lic. numbers, race, and type of guns owned by judges, law enforcement officers, & ordinary citizens is absolutely despicable Shame on you!

Resign, unintentional or not... Releasing conceal carry personal info into the genpop is just way way way to big of an error. Utter incompetence. You have put lives in jeopardy and created a robbery hit list for gun thieves. People could die because of this error, RESIGN.

RobBonta CALIFORNIA SUCKS

RobBonta Californian's are coming for you...sleep well😏

RobBonta in the spirit of transparency why don't you doxx yourself and your political buddies so everyone knows where all the liars live? I see you fraud boy. tsk tsk tsk more for my list. See you on the other side. soulhunter

RobBonta The CA AG is too busy releasing private information of law-abiding citizens to the public.

RobBonta Okay let me ask you these questions: 1. How many of the anti-black crimes: black on black? 2. How many of the anti-black crimes were committed by Asians?

What are you going to do about it AG? It's been in the news for years.

Wish we got a racial breakdown of the perpetrators of the 'Asian bias'

Uh huh.
