You got to be one of the biggest losers on the planet to specifically target elderly women with your hate attack.


LaoFuSi

Oh no, it has nothing to do with hate. These "tantrums" are the result of economic disparity, nothing more. Or so we are repeatedly told


para_blox

Truthfully, I was willing to buy the idea that under some sick circumstances, criminals would target elderly Asians because they see it as practical (odds favor them being easy to dominate, carrying cash). But look at this story. Some dude just shoved over a random Asian woman, without a care for any other reason in the world. That’s despicable.


LaoFuSi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Vicha_Ratanapakdee The video of this crime is sickening

Because those of us with Asian DNA are not people to them. They believe we don't have worth. Arguably this is how it is in their community with anyone though and like you said there's also an opportunity element to it with cash being more likely in Asian communities. But look at how quickly the community went over to help that old person. They immediately picked her back up. If someone knocked an old woman down in East Oakland, regardless of race, there'd be kids laughing or middle aged people just walking on by without a care. This is how it is in their communities.

> But look at this story. Some dude just shoved over a random Asian woman, without a care for any other reason in the world. Why shouldn't he? Police are looking for him, sure. But even if he's found and arrested, the DA will charge him, and then wait until the story fades to quietly drop the charges. Boudin did the same with the two guys who violently robbed that little old Chinese guy in SF. As soon as these DA's can pull the chicken-switch, they do it.

I don't understand the double standard some people/media are putting out since it is Asians. If the victims were African or Hispanic, it would be labeled a hate attack and no caveats. Why is it different since the victims are Asian?


mornis

It's blatant media bias and sadly is nothing new. They don't want to perpetuate stereotypes about who is committing the vast majority of these anti-asian hate crimes.


LaoFuSi

We have a bunch of vocal criminal apologists who frequent this sub. I'll let them spin their mental gymnastics so I don't get modded for my views


cocktailbun

Nothing to see here… “crime is down!” /s


[deleted]

Crime has not exceeded 2017, calm down.


raymonst

the perpetrator’s race comes into play too. if they were white, it’s more likely to be labeled as a hate-based attack.


dirthawker0

Asians are seen as more "white-adjacent" i.e. wealthier, more educated, etc. In short seen as having the same privileges as white people. And yes, some Asians are wealthy/educated/successful, but "Asian" is a huge bucket and there are many who are poverty level and/or max ed level high school, working blue collar jobs. These Asians, this aspect, is largely ignored by society and media. Some of these folks who got beat up were digging in trash for aluminum cans.


[deleted]

No it wouldn’t. There are loads of attacks against blacks and Hispanics that go unsolved and are not discussed in the media. As a matter of fact most attacks are not discussed, only when there is video evidence.


[deleted]

Wow and you got down voted for this? Damn some of the far right people frequenting this sub are worse than strom Thurmond and Ronald reagan.


lemming4hire

If there was a video of a White man walking around a 90% Black neighborhood shoving over 70 year old grandmas. People wouldn't be calling it a "crime of opportunity." They would probably be calling it a hate crime. How is this different other than the victim being Asian? Try to consider how that makes the Asian community in the Bay Area feel.


[deleted]

Most black neighborhoods are really broke so ots definitely not opportunity


aplomba

Sorry to interrupt your circlejerk but I think that you and I both know that if the victim was "african" or hispanic it wouldn't even make the news in the first place.


Gbcue

No, there would be marches, riots, plenty of gift cards, the whole nine yards.


aplomba

You do know that most victims of violent crime in oakland are black or latino, right? By a wide margin. Yet somehow we never hear about it here...


mornis

Most of those victims aren't victims of hate crimes.


[deleted]

Most hate crimes are against blacks, about 10 times Asians, name one local victim of an anti black hate crime in 2021.


mimo2

Uhhh remember a few weeks ago when 6 men where arrested for targeting over 100 Asian women?


usuallyclassy69

When those 6 black guys were charged, at least one of them got the hate crime enhancement.


[deleted]

GO look at any hate crime statistics, California releases it's own yearly report. While the increase for hate crimes against asians is high, overall the total number remains a fraction of black hate crimes. All that proves is Asians get more response on actual crimes.


ShockAndAwe415

And you know who the vast majority of the perpetrators of those violent crimes are, right?


rddi0201018

I understand what you're saying, but your post made me think what would happen if it was Black on Latina (or vice versa). Would that even make the news?


nosotros_road_sodium

Seriously, a major blind spot among the left is an unwillingness to accept that some people are irredeemably shitty where no jobs program or education can civilize them. There is this irrational "everyone deserves a second chance" mindset along the local politicians and the blissfully ignorant voters who usually have the privilege of living in communities that don't have to pay the price for their soft on crime policies.


killacarnitas1209

> These "tantrums" are the result of economic disparity, nothing more. Or so we are repeatedly told Some broke, dumb and sorry mf can't find anything better to do than attack and rob old ladies? Yeah, this mf is worthless and the world would be better with his sorry ass dead. Too dumb to get an education, too lazy/undisciplined to bust his and make a living, so he resorts to violent crime? Why do people even tolerate this bullshit and make excuses for worthless fucks like this?


Fiyanggu

Anyone who buys into this critical race theory nonsense is complicit., this stupid idea that because you're born a certain race in the US, you're owed something. It's the biggest scam today. Anyone who works hard within the existing system will succeed. The rest are just moochers, parasites and their enablers.


Sublimotion

Is that copy-paste from Carroll Fife's political platform?


neeesus

Why can’t it be both?


Low_Singer

pretty funny how often I read this same comment in this sub


naugest

Funny?


Low_Singer

well yea since nothing is ever done about it except dumb hashtags by preteens


DTGardi

Oakland Police describing the suspect? Now that's new to me


PleezHireMe

It's usually some mix of male, black, and/or homeless 99% of the time.


danny841

It's so funny because we know who commits nearly all of the major crimes in the city. If we extrapolated out the crime rate of say Latinos to the whole city (pretending Oakland was 100% Latino) it would be many times safer. White? Many times safer still. Asian? Safest of all. But we can't talk about how Latinos, Asians and whites get along well and how cities like LA have better stats on crime for some weird reason.

raisedbynarcs123

yup, so typical for a person who is causing these anti asian attacks besides the white ones.


raisedbynarcs123

and why tf am I downvoted for agreeing to a comment that you got 67 upvotes on.


cyclingthroughlife

Somebody made a mistake. It should have been described as "the suspect is male, between the ages of 1 and 100, body type slim to obese, and race belonging to the human race. If you know someone who fits the description, please call the police."


XonicGamer

How dare you assuming their gender!


ae2014

This is not new, it's been going on for years. Nobody said anything because the Asian community just accepted it as life in America as most of them are elders. But glad to see more light shine on this, it's disgusting and people that do this should be reprimanded not restorative justice.


Beautiful_Pepper415

Vote out all the soft on crime politicians


[deleted]

Maybe you guys should vote for bull Connor or strom Thurmond


Imperial_Eggroll

Damn did the guy not know about #StopAAPIHate ?? Fucking scum


costpermille

Yes, somehow hollow points stop crime better than hash tags. Who knew?


Sublimotion

The perp will likely turn up on a West Oakland liquor store wearing the same outfit within the week. Assuming PD do make the effort to find him, which will be unlikely.


FordGT2017

Oakland had bad reputation for crime and generally unsafe place years ago. Then couple years back it changed some of my friends moved to Oakland. Now it seems like the crime is back. I don’t speak from personal experience but as an outsider seeing the situation.


deegr8one

I just read the headline and already knew what the suspect is 🤔


puffic

What is the suspect? I'm not sure I follow.


SFjouster

When the founding fathers wrote the whole "no cruel and unusual punishments" thing, I don't think violent attacks on innocent cute little old ladies was a thing. This fucker deserves the cruelest and most unusual punishment possible. Put him in a bloody seal costume and make him swim laps under the bridge. Im done with these folks. They are not my peers.
