Man charged with hate crime after attack on Asian American woman caught on video
MORGAN WINSOR Wed, March 31, 2021, 3:03 AM
The alleged suspect who was caught on video repeatedly kicking a 65-year-old Asian American woman as witnesses seemingly stood by has been arrested and charged with felony assault as a hate crime, according to the New York City Police Department.
The attack occurred at around 11:40 a.m. local time Monday in front of an apartment building in Midtown Manhattan. Police released surveillance footage that shows the man approaching the woman on the sidewalk and kicking her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground. The suspect then kicks the woman in the face multiple times while making "anti-Asian statements toward her" before casually walking away, police said.
The video also shows people inside of the building lobby who appear to stop what they are doing to watch the attack unfold. One of them then shuts the door as the suspect walks away and the woman is left on the ground.
The Brodsky Organization, the company that owns the building, announced in a statement Monday that the "staff who witnessed the attack have been suspended pending an investigation in conjunction with their union." The company said it "is also working to identify a third-party delivery vendor present during the incident so that appropriate action can be taken."
The woman suffered "serious physical injury" and was hospitalized in stable condition, police said.
The New York City Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident.
New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea called the attack "very disturbing" and "disgusting."
"You try to make sense of it and you can't," Shea told NY1 in a recent interview. "I don't know who attacks a 65-year-old woman and leaves her on the street like that."
Also on Monday, another individual was captured on cellphone video violently punching and choking an Asian American man on a subway train in Brooklyn. The New York City Police Department said it "is aware of this video and is investigating."
Anyone with information regarding either incident is urged to call the New York City Police Department's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

in a quirky, related piece......... the media suggests there's something wrong with people/society that do not step up and do the job of the police? After many police departments are facing defunding and the removal of qualified immunity? All of that cheered on by the very same media? ![[rolleye1]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif) www.yahoo.com/news/witnesses-ignore-elderly-asian-woman-144808202.html A 65-year-old Asian woman has been hospitalized after being helplessly assaulted in New York City on Monday while bystanders ignored her. The incident, which was caught on video, occurred just before noon outside an apartment building at 360 West 43rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, according to The New York Times. A male suspect approached the victim, punched and repeatedly kicked her in the head before fleeing the scene. The suspect also allegedly made anti-Asian sentiments, telling the victim, “F*ck you, you don’t belong here.” Surveillance footage from a building next to the sidewalk where the victim was attacked shows a witness failing to render aid. As she lay beaten on the ground, a security guard from the building closed the door on the helpless victim. The victim, who was on her way to a church, was sent to the hospital with swelling to the face and pain in the left leg. She is now in stable condition, according to WABC. New York police have released surveillance images of the suspect, who is said to be homeless, according to New York Daily News. The incident is being investigated by the department’s Hate Crimes Task Force. Meanwhile, building owner The Brodsky Organization said staff who witnessed the attack were “suspended pending an investigation in conjunction with their union.” A third-party delivery worker allegedly present during the incident is also being identified “so that appropriate action can be taken.” |

On the one hand, it's just people doing what people often do.
On the other, how it's responded to is a whole nother thing.

By ignoring it? By not wanting to get involved? I can't tell if it's because of fear or indifference. |

"We don't want/need your help!"
Sound familiar?
I chalk it up to: "Be careful what you wish for."
I'm not saying that people shouldn't have helped. I'm just saying that I can understand why they didn't.

Vaguely, but fucking hell... There's something seriously wrong with a society that ignores a badly injured child lying on the street. |

by people doing what they do........ I'm more referring to the constant small percentage that are the criminal class. The 'response' part of my post was what happens even after they're caught and convicted. This guy already killed someone.....yet he's walking around? Here's where people with views like Toy frustrate me so much.
I'd guess it's a combo of fear and indifference. Larger cities are sorta well known for this kinda approach. Especially in places like NYC where arming yourself for protection is so frowned upon.......... meanwhile the criminals never seem to have a problem getting their weapons.

No one can claim the "moral high ground"

No, that's the 1978 classic INVASION OF THE CANCEL-CULTURERS... Which was in fact a remake of the 1956 original, because that one wasn't woke enough. |
