There are sadly many people on the left so mentally enfeebled by a simplistic “everything is white supremacy” mindset that they can’t comprehend anything outside that narrow worldview. Like, what if non-whites also had agency? https://t.co/wRkMg7UIBK

Alameda County DA Nancy O'Malley has announced the creation of a special response unit focused on crimes against Asians — particularly older Asians. It stems from two similar attacks in northern California as well as a spate of crime in Oakland's Chinatown https://t.co/NyuQoCvQD1

Telling poor Asian people that they are racist for wanting police protection from a wave of violence is wrong.

How sheltered do you have to be for ethnic studies jargon to be more real to you than the bodies of grandma and grandpa laid out on the street? https://t.co/l6iPnz8dz5

Call out the evil that these perpetrators do in targeting the frail and infirm regardless of color.

Call for justice against the wrongdoers and protection of the innocents.

Anything else is pure gaslighting.

Some months ago when a poll came out showing that the vast majority of Asians aren’t concerned about hate crime, I rt’d it with some arch remarks about how I also have zero concern. I got piled on and deleted. I was wrong.

— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) February 13, 2021

Now, I still have little concern for myself and most Asians also have little grounds for concern for themselves.

But poor, old city dwelling Asians are being targeted in broad daylight by vicious sadists.

— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) February 13, 2021

Don’t use rhetoric about race and policing to both give the perpetrators cover and deny the vulnerable people targeted the protection they need.

: a woman was robbed around 9th & Franklin just before 6pm.

Someone jumped in & my sources say this was a nearby store owner who fired 4 shots. No injuries.

This is all despite volunteer groups (1/2)

...and private security patrolling the area after the recent rash of attacks.

Waiting on surveillance video now.

Just as I finished shooting my story with Oakland Police Chief Armstrong in Chinatown— the owner of Quickly on E 12th sent me this video of a woman getting robbed outside the store.

This is only about a mile from Chinatown.

She’s shaken but doing OK. pic.twitter.com/gzHWLYdVqe

Today I spent some time walking through Oakland’s Chinatown with @oaklandpoliceca’s new chief LeRonne Armstrong who visited w/merchants & community members.

It was nice to see many people stop him to express gratitude for catching the suspect who shoved a 91-year old (1/2) pic.twitter.com/EA5Hv9XwjF

He is allowing me to share this video to raise awareness so others don’t become targets.

Call @AlamedaPD if you have any additional info that can help them in their investigation.

There’s a “March Against White Nationalism” today in NYC re recent violence against Asians, and this is the social image promoting it. Uhh is there a shred of evidence that 84 year old Vicha Ratanapakdee was killed by “white nationalism”? https://t.co/rsFW2qZQwx pic.twitter.com/XE3VMv0Uy1
