“I am deeply troubled by the unprecedented surge in hate crimes in Los Angeles County. The rising number of acts of violence against Black, Asian, and LGBTQ+ Angelenos are horrifying, and tragically mirror the awful mass shootings and targeted attacks we have seen in Buffalo, Colorado Springs, and other cities across the nation. I am also particularly disturbed that Jewish Angelenos were victims of an overwhelming number of the religiously-motivated hate crimes, especially as antisemitic vitriol has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks. As this report shows, there is no room for silence or ambivalence on these matters – we must all condemn bigotry and lies wherever we see them, because the consequences of inaction are too great to bear.”
