"Self-defense instructors in New York City are experiencing a big Trump bump of their own, the Wall Street Journal reports.
One self-defense training organization has seen a 400 percent increase in sign-ups compared to last year. The Krav Maga Institute in New York City, which teaches Israeli martial arts, has a six-month waiting list for their classes, WSJ reports.
Most of the requests for self-defense and martial arts training come from Muslims, immigrant communities, LGBT groups and women, Tracy Hobson of the Center for Anti-violence Education told WSJ. Some communities are seeking defense skills because they do not feel comfortable calling the police, Hobson said.
“I understand the fear that something can escalate if you decide to intervene, but I think calling the police can also escalate things,” Hobson told WSJ. Hobson did not immediately return The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment."
Reports of anti-Semitic hate crimes have increased the most, though a few of those reports were later proven be false. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have both condemned anti-Semitic crimes and vandalism.
“You can’t have a candidate for president single out groups of Americans, negatively, and not have some ramifications for that,” de Blasio said in December. “It’s obviously connected to the election.”
THOUGHTS:
1. So the New York Snowflakes - the likes of who have engaged in the reported rioting, looting, arson, assaults, destruction of property, etc - say we are living in 'crazy' times and seek to blame Trump for it?!
-- "“Right now we live in crazy times,” one New York woman who recently enrolled in a self-defense class told WSJ. “I want to defend people.”
** New York has always had crazy people - that is nothing new and certainly can't be blames on Trump...unless you're some Fake News site.
2. Many of those 'Hate Crimes' reported 'as a result of' Trump being elected has turned out to be Hoaxes.
3. 'Anti-Semitic Crimes'? Perhaps they should start their investigations into these crimes by looking at Democrats. After all, their personal leaked e-mails exposed the DNC as being filled with racists, sexists, homophobes, and anti-Semites.
4. This 'movement' is more about people feeling less safe AND not trusting the police.
-- "The New York Police Department still insists that calling the authorities is the best option for anyone under attack. “If you feel you’re the victim of a crime, the police are the proper people to call,” NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis told WSJ."
