up 40% and they were suffolk county and new york city. so i think we need to be clear that we are not out of the what's just because we live in new york city. the second thing that much to say is difficult for me to answer because i'm not in his head and i will send you will to speak to any of them. i was able to speak to the parents of the families as i said. so it is complicated to know what triggered this action but they had been going on for a long time and had to do with board m and what are you doing on a friday night in suburbia. if you have nothing to do you can do something else. you don't have to go out hunting people but it had to do with the kind of things everything you pointed out was part of the atmosphere and there was good behavior. nobody called the police and if the police would come they would say it's teenagers, kids. they will be out in no time. there's nothing we can do about it. the justice has come down pretty hard on suffolk county and they've already made changes and they've basically said if you had paid attent

it is primarily fueled by hate crimes in new york city and in civil county. i don't want to alarm you although it is alarming part of what has happened is that in some places, civil county being one of them, the way that there were certain hate crimes classified as vandalism, so if you write something on the wall of the synagogue, that used to be vandalism. so the numbers have gone up in part because of that. but i think it's interesting frankly when you are reading a report that hate crimes have gone up 30% and other places like new york city. so i think that we need to be clear we are not out of the woods yet just because we live in new york city. the second issue that i want to say is difficult for me to answer because clearly i am not in his head and i wasn't able to speak to any of them that i was able to speak to the parents of the families. it's complicated to know exactly what triggered this action. but i do know is that i they had been going on for a long time and again, it had to do with boredom, it had to do with what you do on a friday and saturda

they are fueled in new york city and sussex. now, i don't want to alarm you, though it is alarming, but what -- part of what has happenedded is that in some places, sussex county being one of them, the way there were certain hate crimes classified as vandalism. if you write something awful on the wall of a synagogue, which is often the case, that used to be vandalism. that was the hate crime. the numbers have gone up in part because of that. okay? i think it's embarrassing, frankly, when you read the report that new york state, hate crimes have gone up 30%, and that the two places that are responsible for that, are sussex county, and new york city. i think we need to be clear that we're really not out of the woods just because we live in new york city. the second question that i wanted to say is you question this is difficult to answer because, clearly, i'm not in this kid head; right? i was not able to speak to any of them. i was able to speak to the parents of two families that have said, and it's complicated to know exactly w
