Last Thursday, police in Winnipeg, Canada responded to a call about a hate crime.

A woman had been attacked, and the cafe she worked at was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti.

But as it turns out, police now believe the whole thing was staged.

They arrested three shop owners and the woman involved, saying they made the whole thing up.

Now this story isn't as prominent as the jussie smolette incident, but it's very similar.

And they both join a growing list of hate crime hoaxes.

Now people on the left will tell you hate crimes are on the rise, and they can cite FBI data.

But the data is actually complicated.

The increase could be due to more agencies reporting and not necessarily more crimes.

People on the right will say no.

The exposed hoaxes prove the increases due to people lying about it.

This conversation then bleeds into the political sphere.

The other day at an event, Bernie Sanders was booed and heckled.

Over his response to the question, how would you deal with the increase in white supremacist violence?

Many people on the left are convinced it's getting worse.

But in reality, it's really hard to understand.

Today, let's take a look at this specific hate crime in Canada,

and we'll look at some of the data to better understand the nuance in the increase in hate crimes.
