'Nowhere is safe': Asian women reflect on brutal New York City killings
NBC News ^ | February 16, 2022 | Sakshi Venkatraman

Two brutal killings in the span of less than a month have left Asian American women in New York City on edge. And in metropolitan areas around the country, they say there’s constant reason to be looking over their shoulder.

“I don’t feel like anywhere is safe for me,” said YouMe Lin, 27, a Chinese American woman who has lived in New York City for over six years. “I feel very suffocated.”

Around 4 a.m. Sunday, 35-year-old Christina Yuna Lee was found dead in her bathroom stabbed 40 times after a man, Assamad Nash, allegedly silently followed her up six flights of stairs into her lower Manhattan apartment. When police arrived on the scene, they heard Lee’s screams, but by the time they broke down her steel door, it was too late. Nash was found hiding under her bed, police said.

Her death follows the Jan. 15 killing of Michelle Go, 40, who was pushed in front of an oncoming train at the Times Square subway station. At a vigil held to commemorate her, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, “I’m recommitted to ensure that this will not happen in our city.”

Several women who live in the city told NBC Asian America that statements like that have felt increasingly hollow. With Lee’s death in her own home, they say their safe spaces around New York are rapidly disappearing.

Yeah, imagine all the illegals soaking America for welfare, blacks, and they’ll just smoke all the native Americans and take their reservations. Here come the dams and power plants and everyone gets a job picking radishes.

“Towards the end, they finally get to the point: It’s Trump’s fault.”

Which is the ONLY reason they ran the article. They have ears in the Asian community and realize that Asians are starting to figure out that they’ve been lied to and they know that it’s blacks who are responsible for the vast majority of violent attacks.

So, run the article, to get Asians ‘back in their lane’ and blaming whites for the violent crimes of blacks.

The Asian women in Atlanta happened to be in a sex for hire spa where they tend to work. They were not killed for being Asian women. On the other hand, the NYC attacks are almost all black on asian crime, the third rail that the media refuses to acknowledge. Just like so many other crimes, one need not look any further than black males to find the culprit.

The Left has decided that Asians are white adjacent, so it’s okay for black people to kill them.

I think that the “leaders” of the Asian Community should issue a public apology to all white people for having knowingly blamed “white supremacists” for the rise in anti-Asian attacks when they knew all along that this was just a continuation of a long history of black-on-Asian attacks. These “leaders” jumped onboard the Media-Dem Party attack line, and they should be deeply ashamed of themselves, because they themselves put members of their own community in danger by knowingly lying about who was committing these attacks.

Thank you!Great article. The lies spread by that activist group is REAL disinformation but I’m sure their lies are spread all over Twitter and FB without incident.

We ALL KNOW who commits most violent crime in this country, why would attacking Asians in these Urban areas be mostly white dudes? LOL

PUHLEASE these Marxists lie like a rug.

Looks like the mayor will have to re-recommit.

And the other day he complained that he was getting negative press coverage because he's black.

they won’t be ashamed. same as the black leader hustlers who push the same narrative of “Whitey is the reason” for whatever ills. You know they would help their community by speaking about accountability and responsibility but there is no grift in that. Also, the left care about their religion of Marxism over anything else. They are a cult...nothing outside of their dogma will be given credence.
