If you wondered about the recent rash of "hate crimes", here's my local paper under the headline "Hate Crimes More Than Double".

"In Petaluma, for example, a U.S. Postal Service employee saw a toy monkey hung by a rope on a tree in front of a home on June 26, and police were asked to investigate.

After speaking with the homeowner, police learned that the toy animal was an ode to a spider monkey that was a family pet. He had not realized the monkey he intended as a decoration was interpreted as a racist symbol, the homeowner told The Petaluma Argus Courier.

The case was classified as a hate crime, though officers ultimately determined the monkey was only an ornament, Petaluma Police Lt. Tim Lyons said.

In a similar case earlier that month, officers responded to a report of a noose hanging on a tree near Civic Center Drive in Rohnert Park. Upon investigation, police determined the rope, which was actually tied in a fixed knot, was a swing used by neighborhood children.

Meanwhile, the FBI is investigating NASCAR garage pulls with loops in them, but they seem to have lost Hunter's laptop ...

Democrats doing their nasty work, spreading racism and hatred while ignoring real crimes.
