Carlos Sanchez, the second street vendor to be attacked in San Jose this week, is speaking out about the assault. He was attacked with a bat on Saturday morning by a manager of a nearby auto parts business. "I was extremely scared. I wasn’t sure what his mental health was like, and what he was thinking," said Sanchez, speaking through a translator.
San Jose police arrested 43-year-old Kintex Ho and charged him with assault with a deadly weapon and carjacking. Sanchez says the attack happened after Ho demanded that Sanchez move his grill, claiming it was on Intex Auto Part property.
When Sanchez refused, Ho allegedly hit Sanchez's car, then him on cellphone video.
So far, the auto parts shop where Ho works has not condemned the attack. Instead, Intex Auto Parts posted an apparent customer comment on their Facebook page, saying in part: "Awesome people…keep running the street roaches, I mean vendors off the streets."
The incident marks the second time a street vendor has been attacked in San Jose this week.

Here is the video:
Nonetheless these itinerant and probably unlicensed/illegal street vendors are a blight. City ought to be removing them wherever they are found, but nooo.......
We’re only hearing one side of the story. The street vendor seems to be taunting the property owner as if they have some sort of history before this video. Some of the tweets indicate that Asians are being intimidated into allowing others to do what they want in front of and around their businesses.
http://www.ktvu.com/news/2nd-san-jose-street-vendor-attacked-this-week-speaks-out reports that Mr. Sanchez is an “undocumented worker”. Ahhh, maybe he’s looking for a U-visa. If you’re an illegal alien and are either victim or witness of a qualifying crime, the US government will give you a 4-year visa and may lead to permanent resident status.
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put $100 down and buy a car
In a week or two they’ll make you a star
But we are so much better off as a confusing cascade of diversity.
The leftists have been pushing it as the cure all of all our ills since the 70s yrs but we seem to have more ills now.

In my town, sidewalk is a private property easement not public property, I don’t know the situation in San Jose but know fence lines aren’t definitive property lines
Property lines usually end at the curb with the sidewalk being an easement
In Tampa, FL we have a version of street vending outside the city limits in Hillsborough County. Mexicans set up “roach coaches” next to gas stations, apparently with the blessings of the gas station owners. Usually some kind of shack on wheels with tables and chairs set out under an awning. The energy source for cooking is bottled gas. I have yet to see any governmental agency shut any down, including the Dept. of Health. Neither do you ever read about these itinerant street cookers making anyone sick, which to me would seem likely. What can these people possibly know about hygiene?
Kintex Ho . . . seriously????
Buyer beware, if it is public property it is only governed by law and ordnance, some towns require that a business can restrict the parking on the street immediately in front of their business
As far as I know, this particular food vendor wasn’t unlicensed/illegal.
“For years, sidewalk peddlers weren’t allowed to operate in San Jose.
But in 2018, former Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 946, which allows street vendors to operate as long as they display a valid permit from the county and comply with all food preparation, fire and health codes. The new law, which will go into effect Jan. 2020, defines sidewalk vending as “a person who sells food or merchandise from a pushcart, stand, display, pedal-driven cart, wagon, showcase, rack, or other non-motorized conveyance, or from one’s person, upon a public sidewalk or other pedestrian path.”
Property lines are all over the place, there is no standard. At least the guy isn’t pooping in the street and shooting up, he’s trying to make a living.
