The headlines made it clear this year.
The past 12 months saw a rise in how often local residents heard about events that could be deemed hate crimes, hate speech or acts threatening to minorities or people of certain religious beliefs or ethnic backgrounds.
Some were difficult to forget: A group of men allegedly bringing weapons to a Black Lives Matter protest in Troy. KKK supporters meeting at a park in Fort Plain. A suspect fire-bombing a woman’s car in Schenectady after she broke up an altercation. A neighbor posting racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic signs on his lawn in Schoharie County.
