Community groups fighting against the rise of hate crimes and related actions directed at Asians could start seeing some of a new $165.5 million state fund by the end of this year, state and local leaders said Monday, Nov. 15, during a news conference in Garden Grove.

Ting and others who spoke at the gathering, held in a courtyard of St. Anselm Episcopal Church, linked the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes to racially-biased antipathy from former President Donald J. Trump. They noted Trump’s description of COVID-19 as the “China virus” and “kung flu,” terms Trump said he used because of the pandemic’s origins in Wuhan, China.

An 18 month old child of Asian ethnicity was murdered while riding in a car on the 880 freeway in downtown Oakland this week. The perpetrator's car did not have a Trump or Let's Go Brandon bumper sticker.

can they use the funds to buy guns?

Will Kamala be bailing out all of the young Black men that perpetuate these hate Crimes?

[oldasrocks]

Send them over here. I’ll protect them and teach them how to use a weapon.

[Deaf Smith]

The money to fund Midnight Basketball to keep blacks from beating up Asians?

I’m looking at this with a jaundiced eye.

I sure this will be funded right up to the point that actually arrest the 1st black perp. Then the fund will be deemed “racist”.

And when the demographic of those committing most, if not all, of the crimes becomes too hard to ignore the program will go away. The money won’t go away. That will end up in bank accounts spread all over the place.

165 million will buy a lot of ARs and AKs

If the toilet bowl represents the bank accounts of Democrats, the bureaucrats that will be charged with administering the program and the community organizers that will lend their expertise to solving the problem, then the picture is very accurate.

Asians are not stupid. Asian people do not fear Trump supporters or President Trump. Asian Americans know that White people do not threaten them. They damn sure know what racial group poses the greatest threat to them, and it isn't Caucasians.

Dat be racis.

And maybe they should hire these guys to give lessons.
(Nobody bothered them during 1992 Los Angeles riots.)

More spending programs...not as effective as a few strategically placed rooftop defenders.

Its just a scam - its how you hide $165 million in kick-backs or payments to some controversial leftist political organizing groups or cronies.

” An older Caucasian woman in a car yelled at clinic staff as they conducted an outdoor COVID-19 vaccination drive, and seemed to threaten that she would drive through a barricade set up to help guide motorists seeking a shot.”

No mention of the Asians getting robbed, beaten and murdered in the Bay Area and who is doing it.

[Cobra64]

How does this work? Will there be a new federal agency or department handing out money to Asian Americans on the Chinese New Year with a note saying, “America loves you?”

"Asians are not stupid. Asian people do not fear Trump supporters or President Trump. Asian Americans know that White people do not threaten them."

But they found a few to spout the anti-Trump line.

No mention of the Asians getting robbed, beaten and murdered in the Bay Area and who is doing it......Imagine that.

Every single thing about the Left is a scam. Nothing more.
