Why is collecting accurate hate crime statistics so difficult?
Allison Kolarik was making signs for an upcoming ‘Stand Against Hate’ rally in Asbury Park on Sept. 3 when she heard two guys yelling at her friends outside.
“There were certain things said like, I hate you people, I hate liberals,” she said. “I just walked out of the stairs and said, ‘That’s enough, please go away’ and he tried to get around me, tried to get around me the other way, I just said, ‘no, no, go’ and he maced me.”
