Violence against elderly Asian Americans in the Bay Area is skyrocketing
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Feb. 12, 2021 | Joshua Bote , Fiona Lee

In March, when much of the nation shut down in response to the coronavirus landing on American shores, the Anti-Defamation League estimated that there were at least 57 instances of anti-Asian harassment and violence nationwide.

And in recent weeks, the string of violence and anti-Asian sentiment has reached another breaking point — one that has disproportionately targeted vulnerable Asian seniors in the Bay Area.

However, the call to ramp up policing is not a universal one. A key concern among some Asian American lawmakers and activists is that carceral measures to protect Asian elders — more policing, harsher punitive punishments — cause undue harm to Black residents, especially after 2020 drew stark attention to the disproportionate effects of police violence onto Black Americans.


So young black males are killing elderly Asians in the Bay Area. But preventing that violence would "cause undue harm to Black residents". Ok you are on your own. Good luck.

Democrats gave told us forever the blacks are their folks.

They don’t take their marching orders from us.

And we don’t give these kinds of marching orders, but democrat and libtards sure do.

If our side gave and followed those kinds of marching orders, our Capitol building would not be standing right now. Much of DC would be ashes and rubble.

One thing we know if the violence is happening in the Bay Area:

It isn't caused by Trump voters, or conservative Republicans.

85% of the local residents voted for Joe Biden in November.

That is a money quote.

Classic “stuck on stupid” liberalism.

I am very, very surprised that we aren’t hearing about Charles Bronson/Deathwish/Bernie Goetz type of incidents.

So the same people who commit over half of all firearm murders are also committing most of the violence against Asians. So we should disarm white guys.

Baffling why anyone wants to hurt elderly Asians.

Very much doubt the police are inclined or being allowed to agressively investigate or use effective policing techniques to address these crimes. Try to imagine what ultimately will happen to individual officers who try to arrest these thugs or go into their neighborhoods to investigate or patrol. Those officers would not have the support of the politicos. The Asians are on their own and will get no help from handcuffed police who do want to jeopordize their jobs, pensions and lives. BTW its not just crimes against Asians. Other minority on minority crime, including murder is only receiving cursory investigation and policing from urban police forces. Even if they happen to make arrests, the urban prosecutors refuse to prosecute. Between lawlessness and COVID, urban America is in an advanced state of rot. Commercial and residential real estate values in almost all Democrat run urban areas are declining sharply.

“More insidious is the racist desire to target Black Americans because some of the assailants, notably in the death of 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee, were young Black men.”

So it is racist to note the common denominator among assailants?

It might be because these asians are acting all uppity, now that they have their very own “Chines” President.
