NYC anti Asian attacks as onlookers do nothing

Post Reply New Topic

In broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan on Monday, a 65-year-old woman was kicked to the ground and stomped on by a man who police say made "anti-Asian statements." The very same day, police said they were investigating after an Asian man was left unconscious during an attack in the subway.

Both attacks are being investigated as hate crimes — part of a disturbing trend of attacks against the Asian American community during the coronavirus pandemic.

Police say the attack on the woman occurred at about 11:40 a.m. on Monday on the sidewalk outside an apartment building on West 43rd Street. Surveillance video shows an unidentified man violently kick the woman as she falls to the ground, before he continues to kick her several times.

In the video, another person can be seen standing in the building's lobby watching but doing nothing to stop the attack or help the woman. The bystander then closes the front door, while the woman remains on the ground as the attacker casually walks away.

The woman was hospitalized with serious injuries, The Associated Press reports.

The Brodsky Organization, which manages the apartment building, released a statement saying that a staff member who witnessed the attack has been suspended while the incident is under investigation. It is also working to identify another bystander, a third-party delivery vendor, who witnessed the incident but also failed to intervene.

Also on Monday, the NYPD said it was investigating an attack on an Asian man on a busy Manhattan-bound J subway train in Brooklyn, at the Kosciuszko Street station. Video of the attack was shared by another passenger on TikTok and has been viewed millions of times.

Police are still searching for the unidentified attacker, who punched the man several times and put him in a chokehold until he was unconscious. The attacker then slammed the man's head against the subway seat before exiting the train car.

Other riders watched the attack without intervening.

Here's the most shocking hate crime I've seen recently but we'll hear nothing of it because the media and the "woke social justice" crowd could care less about black and brown people.

Watch until the end to see the girl come back in search of her phone oblivious to the dead Pakistani man lying on the sidewalk. This is hate. Our tolerance of such hate is infuriating and heartbreaking. Skin color shouldn't matter. People should come first regardless of skin color, gender, religion or sexual orientation. It's evil.

Hopefully, the "girls" will be put away for a long time.

I see no evidence the car was stolen and that the thieves were oblivious to the car's owner they killed because he was Pakistiani.
