An Asian man was arrested after California police say he kidnapped and tried to sexually assault an Asian woman, believing she was white, in retaliation for the rise in hate crimes against Asians.

Michael Sangbong Rhee, 37, was arrested Thursday night at his Lake Forest home, Irvine police said in a Facebook post. Rhee was charged with kidnapping with intent to commit a sexual assault and is being held at Orange County Jail on $1 million bail.

Police said an Asian woman was sitting in her car near her apartment on Thursday afternoon and looked up to see Rhee holding a handgun. Rhee reportedly told the woman if she wanted to live, she would have to get in the back of her car, according to police.

The woman offered Rhee money and her wallet, and Rhee responded they would “do that later,” police said, before Rhee pushed her into the back seat. According to authorities, the woman thought she was going to be killed or sexually assaulted and looked for an escape.

I can see how and why he thought white people were attacking Asians.

He must watch CNN all day.

I sometimes describe the Woke as being self-oppressing on account of how quickly they turn on any of their own....

... so is watching CNN participatory brain washing?

Sounds like a dumb azz predator who botched a rape/robbery then tried to play the race card figuring he would get off. Only works for certain types but all it got this moron was a sentence enhancement.

Ahhh, I see. If you hate the CPP and blame them for unleashing a bio-weapon on the world, it’s a hate crime now? Can we point out that they have been committing genocide since their inception? Can we tell about how they’ve been killing Christians and Moslems? Is that a hate crime too?
