Police said Monday that they are investigating a video of an elderly man being robbed and assaulted while collecting recyclables on a San Francisco street.

He said the department learned of the video Monday and it's too early to label the incident as a suspected hate crime.

Large young black male beating up small elderly Asian male. Nope no hate crime here. Go back to your homes. Nothing to see here.

• Rich or poor, young or old, everyone in Bay Area is unhappy

Large young black male beating up small elderly Asian male

*****************************************

Mark Wahlberg beat up and crippled an elderly Asian man years ago and he is celebrated in this country. Why should this guy think he’d be any different?

The usual species.

***Large young black male beating up small elderly Asian male.***

I can hear it now...

“I loves you man!” POW!
“I loves you man!” POW!
“Now gibs me yo cash!” Pow!

so no hate crime as it was done with love. (Sarc/Off!)

Nope. Just him saying "I hate Asians, nigger." to his friends while beating the Asian. No, not a hate crime according to libs.

If the perp took less than $950, he’s in the clear.

He was a 16 year old child at the time of the assault and has done more than enough in his adult years that more than makes up for his misguided youth.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

And the writer says the video “appears” to show a man attacking the older person.

I would say the writer “appears” to be an incompetent squish and needs to go to remedial journalism school for the mentally incompetent.

Plus he apologized to the elderly Asian man he crippled...30 years later...because he wanted to open a chain of hamburger joints.

[Jarhead9297]

Not exactly. He dropped his request for pardon and he then apologized even though it was misreported the man went blind in one eye from the attack. He admitted he lost sight in one eye in Vietnam. Look, I’m not condoning attacks on people. However, if I too were held to account for all the stupid sh!t I did when I was a child I too wouldn’t have good employment. His charitable works across dozens of charities including Wounded Warrior Project have more than made up for his transgressions as a child.

[bramps]

Obviously any charity work and especially with veterans should be greatly applauded. An accumulation of things still lead me to believe that he is a fraud who often has a motive other than what it appears to be.

Patriots extraordinary comeback victory over the Falcons in the Super Bowl was a good example. Wahlberg gave up on his team and left. But then after instead of just saying that he gave up on the team he had to make up an excuse for why he left rather then say he just gave up. Stuff like that really ticks me off. Believe me there’s more things being from Boston that I’ve heard. And I’ll fully admit that I’m being somewhat juvenile even posting this.
