Trump Related Hate Crimes in Phoenix?

Since the election of Donald J. Trump, the mainstream media has been obsessed in reporting upticks in the number of violent hates crimes againt Hispanics, Blacks and Muslisms. Has this media proclaimed "epidemic" reached Phoenix? Perhaps.

AzCentral seems to think so. They have been reporting on Middle Eastern Bakery and Deli in Phoenix, which has now had its' windows broken for a second time. They are not selling it as victimization due to the Trump victory, but as a community coming together to battle a greater evil.

It reads "Peace on Earth" in gold writing on the large front windows of the Middle Eastern Bakery and Deli in Phoenix. But the owners of the beloved local restaurant have been experiencing quite the opposite recently, some customers say.

Marnee Burrus, a regular at the small grocery and restaurant, which serves lamb kebabs, baba ghanoui and baked treats such as baklava, stopped by Saturday afternoon only to see that a window had been smashed, leaving cracks resembling a large spiderweb on the decorated front, according to a Facebook post.

In her post, Burrus wrote: "I asked the store owner what happened and she told me this is the second time this has happened to them since the election and they can't afford the expense of replacing the glass a second time right now."
