The landlord of a New York City woman who was brutally murdered on Sunday says her accused killer "mercilessly stalked" his victim up six flights of stairs before he quietly slipped into her Chinatown apartment.

Christina Yuna Lee was just getting home from a Saturday night out. The 35-year-old was dropped off at her building on 100 block of Chrystie Street and she had no idea someone was following her.

"She opened the door and he just slipped in right behind her. She never even knew he was there," said Lee's landlord, Brian Chin. "She walked up six flights of stairs and this man mercilessly stalked her."

As expected:

A single woman out, by her self after dark in NYC.

Law enforcement sources initially said it did not immediately appear to be a hate crime, and added Monday that it was being investigated as an unprovoked push-in attack.

In fact, he might have even loved her. Its NYC. $100 bail and come back in six weeks for trial!

He’s black, the mayor is black, the DA is .... out in five.

That was a much safer proposition in Giuliani's New York.

It's Winter, dark is 5:30pm this time of year

Sadly though, I wouldn't be surprised if she held the door and let him in, you know god forbid he actually lived there and she shut the door on him, she would be called a racist and she would be in the News and she would lose her job.

[Mears]

She was not out alone…she had been dropped off at her building.

One reason I listen so often to Sinatra's Capitol recordings from the 1950's is that they depict a time when New York actually had a romantic glamour about it. On his "Come Fly With Me" album he does the song "Autumn in New York", which contains the lyric:

"lovers who bless the dark
on benches in Central Park"

I can't imagine a young couple taking their lives in their hands by smooching on a bench in Central Park after dark.

Back then, not now. My grandad used to run around NYC alone when he was 9 - nobody bothered him; took buses and the subway alone.

“A single woman out, by her self after dark in NYC.”

She took a taxi to her apt front door. She didn’t do anything wrong.

“She has done nothing wrong. Only mistake she made, was to move to New York City… but our city allowed her life to be taken away by violence,” said Justin Yu, president of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. “Crime has no consequence in this city.”

Elections have consequences?

[Lee25]

There’s no such a thing as quality of life. Only quality of people

[Fai Mao]

I did not say she did anything wrong. People should be able.to live their lives and walk the streets. Unfortunately, she was targeted. If she’d been with someone, maybe it would not have happened. It is going to get even worse very soon.

This is what happens when you mollycoddle these animals. Expect much much more of it.

"She walked up six flights of stairs and this man mercilessly stalked her."

Situational awareness is a good thing.

[major_gaff]

and a CCW is an even better thing

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A CCW won’t do you much good if you aren’t aware of the situation before the stabbing starts.

"Law enforcement sources initially said it did not immediately appear to be a hate crime, and added Monday that it was being investigated as an unprovoked push-in attack."

An unprovoked attack with no apparent motive (e.g., robbery) other than the attack itself? After all the talk of anti-Asian hate crimes in the last two years, they are not wanting to call this a hate crime because . . . well, never mind.

Any obama son murdering yet another person.
