The man suspected of stabbing two Asian American women on a San Francisco sidewalk was reportedly released early from a 25-year prison sentence due to a left-wing criminal justice diversion program.
Years before allegedly stabbing two elderly woman at a Tenderloin bus stop, Patrick Thompson, now 54, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon in 2017 and sent to a mental institution, according to the San Francisco Chronicle – but he was granted entry into a mental health diversion program in 2019, "successfully" completing it in August 2020.
A spokesperson for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation deferred questions to San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, noting the CDCR is not responsible for sentencing decisions.
Graphic video shows the man, who police allege is Thompson, walking up behind two elderly women as they stood at a bus stop near the city’s Tenderloin Station, a thriving commercial district, in broad daylight Tuesday.
He pulls out a knife and slashes them both before bystanders rush over and he eventually flees.
The victims, 84 and 63 years old, and suffered multiple stab wounds and remained hospitalized as of Wednesday.

Just do it, and move on.
We’ll handle the rest.
We’ve had to power wash worse off the street.
He’s been rehabilitated. The man lived 50 years and still didn’t know it was wrong to stab two people... but only took him 4 years to realize the error of his ways.
Who cares. Seriously. It’s so pointless.
cue Claude Rains from “Casablanca”... “...I’m shocked...”. THIS is what goes on every day across this country. I have not been involved in LE for close to 30 years. The only thing that has changed is that it is getting worse.
I guess they took into account that his stabbing record up until then was pretty clean.
Aha, looks like yet another MAGA, white-supremacist Trumpster!!
Wait. 2 years served on a 25 year sentence?
Hit the city with a multimillion dollar lawsuit every time something like this happens.
And yet the home coming queen kid could get 16 years for rigging a home coming queen election.
The democrat party is a criminal enterprise, folks. Act accordingly.
