ABC News via MSN ^ | 02/28/2021 | staff

A 23-year-old man has been charged with second-degree attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a stranger in the back in New York City's Chinatown "for no reason," prosecutors said.

Salman Muflihi, of Brooklyn, allegedly pulled an 8-inch knife on the 36-year-old Asian man at about 6:20 p.m. Thursday, according to police sources.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office declined to prosecute the case as a hate crime, despite initial indications by police. Investigators have nothing so far to indicate the defendant ever saw the victim’s face prior to the attack, a law enforcement official told ABC News.

Fear not, De Blasio and Schumer rallied Manhattan and called for an end to violence against Asian Americans. I think the FBI should be called in to investigate if it is a hate crime but they are probably too busy investigating dog-nappings.

"...but they are probably too busy investigating dog-nappings"

Or hunting down Trump supporters as "insurrectionists".

So lets dissect two quotes from the article:

“The Manhattan District Attorney’s office declined to prosecute the case as a hate crime, despite initial indications by police. Investigators have nothing so far to indicate the defendant ever saw the victim’s face prior to the attack, a law enforcement official told ABC News.”

Followed by:

“The suspect allegedly told detectives that he “didn’t like the way” the victim “looked at him,” according to police sources. During his arrest processing, Muflihi also allegedly said, “I stabbed that guy. If he dies, he dies. I don’t give a f-—,” according to the complaint.”

So according to the DA, the defendant never saw his face, but by the defendants own admission, he didn’t like how the victim looked at him.

Someone want to help me out here?

they KNOW a good percentage are stupid and all they have to do is send their propaganda to the media to spread the lies you know “Asians are being attacked because Trump called Covid China Virus”..Do you not remember those stories over the last few weeks?
I also see comments on social media sites stating the same BS.

All Propaganda, All the time.

So when we see who the real perps are against the Asian community, they won’t charge them with a hate crime because it doesn’t feed into their propaganda.

I’m suprised they even charged him with murder tbh

Sudden Jihad Syndrome ≠ hate crime.

Protected “freedom of expression”.

Some minorities are more equal than others.
