Philadelphia police are investigating an alleged assault and robbery recorded on video and posted to social media, Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted Sunday morning. The video, posted on Instagram by user @jaydothemost on Thursday and reported by NextShark, shows a group of four men walking down a sidewalk toward another man. The man, wearing a white hat and a white sweatshirt, moves toward the street as the group approaches. But one of the men sucker-punches him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

No need to look. It's your typical MAGA wearing deplorable yutes beating down an Asian man. They must have been emboldened by Trump's xenophobic, bigoted, racist, nationalistic, extremest rhetoric about the Chinese virus.

Summary.

Young black thugs attack young asian man and knock him out and rob him. While shouting anti asian statements.

All on video.

None call it a hate crime.

You beat me to it. I was going to ask, Were they wearing MAGA hats?

[Karliner]

Protected group...be like Jussie

Sooner or later they will try that in a state that allows conceal carry and there will be no justice no peace marches after that.

It already happened. It was the martyrdom of St. Trayvon the Lean-drinker.

Alleged? Don’t believe your lying eyes.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hope they left DNA on the victim, his hat and the road cone.

With Philadelphia’s Soros/Marxist DA Krashnar, the perps will get to keep the victim’s hat as a souvenir.

It cannot be a hate crime as Negroes cannot Hate.

I wouldn’t want to be white or asian in this era in that area........its carte blanche....

[Clemenza]

Black against Asian = Democrat vs Democrat. Still bad though.

New info (corrections) and an update:

• The attack happened five months ago (before coronavirus).
• The victim was Hispanic, not Asian.
• So far, two of the attackers have been identified.
