are treating attack as hate crime
Police call evidence for hate crime “appalling and disturbing”
SUNNYVALE — A driver who used his car to intentionally run down pedestrians earlier this week apparently was targeting a family he thought was Muslim, police said Friday, at a news conference held shortly after the suspect in the attack was arraigned in court.
Police are now treating the crash as a hate crime. They said they believe the driver, Isaiah Joel Peoples, targeted the family, believed to be South Asian, purely based on their appearance. Three family members — the father, a 13-year-old daughter and her 9-year-old brother — were among the eight people injured in the crash. The daughter was the most severely hurt. She is in a coma and fighting for her life, police said.
“New evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted the victims based on their race, and his belief that they were of the Muslim faith,” Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Chief Phan Ngo said. He declined to say whether Peoples, 34, had followed the family or whether his attack was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Boyarsky said there was “very appalling and disturbing evidence” that the family had been targeted based on religion.
Ngo said of the injured 13-year-old girl, who in an investigative summary submitted to the court was identified only by her first name, Dhriti, “Our hearts are with her and her loved ones as we pray for her recovery.”

Sorry Mr Peoples. You are slightly below the intended victims on Life’s totem pole of protected classes. You will suffer for your transgressions.

Even a steer can try. Maybe next time.
Where’s his confederate flag and NRA card?
A.I.’s know better than to trust the government.
“half-Jamaican half-Brahmin candidates for President.”
A Brahmin, eh? Well she could never be suspected of being an “Untouchable”, given her history! /s;)
One could arguably move a group up or down a slot but overall I think this is a reasonably accurate representation.
Look how they treated the Covington AI (whatever his name was). He was practically deified early on.
“Don’t forget the LGBTQ.”
you mean Liberty, Guns, Babes, Trump, bbQ?
Every “group” has a-holes, you don’t need too look far to find the “white indian” in the equations.
But hey, I’ll take the 6th position if it comes with the no limit Race Card (tm).
“Well of course, those were eeevil Trump supporters and Christians!!!”
Yes, that made a difference.
Oh, that’s beautiful!
From now on that’s what I will mean.
This was the lead story on the national See BS Evening News.
Wasn’t that guy in a Dirty harry movie?
“oh look...it’s the fuzz”
And they aren't a large enough voting bloc.
I think black men are above white women. The black on white murders and rapes are always downplayed, they got the vote before we did, and of course, liberals voted for Obama more than for Hillary. I knew where I stood after the OJ trial.
Interesting.
When muslims commit honor killings in the US, the press will break the story indicating there’s been a possible hate crime.
