Well, the report we have all been waiting for has just come out to much fanfare and an article in the Orange County Register. The Orange County Human Relations Commission, the white elephant we taxpayers are paying $250,000 a year for, has come out with its annual Hate Crime report.
Yes, all seven pages of it. It is mostly full of charts and graphs and has more filler than a bad sausage.But there is alarming news. There has been a 14% increase in hate crimes in Orange County this year.
Put another way, there were 8 more such incidents than last year-from 56-64. About half were vandalism. LA surpasses those figures on a typical day.

And who are the perps, according to OCHRC?
"Note: Most perpetrators of hate crime are not known, and hate crime is committed by people of all colors, ages and backgrounds. Of the hate crime perpetrators who are known, most are young, white males."
Hmm. Didn't the 2010 report say the exact same thing?

Indeed.
"Note: Most perpetrators of hate crime are not known, and hate crime is committed by people of all colors, ages and backgrounds. Of the hate crime perpetrators who are known, most are young, white males."
It's a fill-in the blank template, apparently.
That's it, folks. This is what $250,000 a year gets us.
Friends of Fullerton's Future, a local blog, has this reaction.

The CEO of this outfit is the hapless Rusty Kennedy, Fullerton's favorite son, a career local hack and liberal guy who is fighting to keep this storefront operation alive in the face of ever-increasing criticism and calls for its de-funding.
Rusty Kennedy
And why not? He is raking in a 6-figure salary-not to mention a 6-figure retirement for doing the same thing.
At least, the OCHRC has reported the increase in anti-Semitic incidents. I wonder if he is counting what happens at UC Irvine every May when the Muslim Student Union brings anti-Semitic speakers like Amir Abdel Malik Ali, who brings us all up to date on who the "Zionist Jews" in America are.
Probably not. Back in 2008, I wrote him complaining about this stuff. All I got back was a nasty gram from Rusty telling me what a great job he was doing and lambasting me because I had criticized the university administration for their lack of any response (because they "were doing a great job too"). I should have known better, but that was before I learned that Rusty was an attendee at that Durban Conference in South Africa several years back that condemned Israel. He even found time in South Africa to help fete that man of peace Yassir Arafat when he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
That is the kind of stuff the tax-payers have to foot the bill for.
That and that annual bad sausage he puts out.
Who knows? Maybe yassir Arafat, had he lived a little longer and moved to Orange County, would have received one of those Rusty awards.
