It's becoming clear after

In reply to Head of the NYPD operation

It's becoming clear after reading about all these incidents that something totally different is going on in the Oakland/San Francisco area than in NYC.

NYC cops themselves and the news reports say the the attacks are mostly by mentally ill and of the hate crime variety.

In the Bay area, on the other hand, there are few of this kind of thing reported but a great deal of muggings and armed robberies targeted at Asians and Asian-Americans by young blacks.

I believe that the Asian and Asian-American population is a much larger percentage of the population in the Bay area? In any case, they are a much longer-lived presence there and have more neighborhoods consisting of speakers of Asian languages.

Although it is informed by hate or prejudice, it seems to me that it has become a "thing" among afro-american juvie types in the Bay area to target and rob Asians and Asian-Americans, because they are seen as being "easy marks" culturally, and more likely to have valuables on their person or in their home. For whatever reason, maybe because it is wrongly surmised that few will defend against attacks on them because they have become a hated minority since Covid?

On the other hand, it could also be a crime reporting difference? That NYC doesn't report race when reporting muggings and armed robberies?

In any case, here is one of the latest incidents in the Bay area, reported on by Glenn Greenwald, who at the same time in a surprise, reports he has been a victim of a similar crime in Brazil:

Glenn Greenwald was bound and robbed at gunpoint in his own house a few weeks ago. I’m guessing nearly every other journalist on this site (including me) would have publicly announced this immediately, if not live tweeted the whole thing. https://t.co/LHJY6Mvt4U

Both cases are horrific. Stories that Truman Capote might make best sellers. But are they hate crimes? Or just attacking and robbing what the perps consider a privileged class by reputation or neighborhood?

well-done rant on raw topic,

well-done comedy rant on raw topic; he's a very talented funny guy, a new favorite of mine (though I would not agree with using the word "powerful" to describe it)

Head of the NYPD operation straight out tells A.P. in video interview that most of the incidents have been by mentally ill people:

They grab the woman’s gold chain & then reach into the man’s pockets & take keys and a cell phone.

The son told me he heard his mom screaming so he ran out barefoot w/the machete.

He is furious (rightfully so) & says nothing’s ever going to change.

I ran the plates & they don’t come up in the system so they could be fake.

The son wants to see the robbers do hard time but has lost faith in police.

I’m going to a presser w/OPD this afternoon where they’re announcing a Violent Crimes Operations center#StopAAPIHate (3/3)

from SFPD press release on arrest, from March 31

[....] The suspect, later identified as 45-year-old Darrell Hunter, was taken into custody without incident. Officers met with the victim who told them that Hunter had entered the business, used a hand gesture to mimic a gun, and simulated shooting the occupants of the business.

This incident is being investigated by the SFPD Special Investigations Division as a hate crime.

Hunter was later booked at San Francisco County Jail on three counts of criminal threats (422 PC), two counts of burglary (459 PC), stalking (646.9(a) PC), three hate crime enhancements (422.75(a) PC) and probation violation (1203.2(a) PC).

Darrell Hunter was arrested Aug. 20 for threats of violence, and July 4 for felony parole violation, threats of violence, violation of civil rights-force or threat, damage property-violate civil rights, $5000+ vandalism, and special allegation-HATE CRIME. https://t.co/w4Jex6TrCH

Here’s a classic example of ⁦@chesaboudin⁩ saying he “charges most cases.” Darrell Hunter was charged. He shows up as having two upcoming court hearings. Yet, he was out on the streets and committed another similar offense — for which ⁦@SFPD arrested him AGAIN. pic.twitter.com/hPy75ib9mD
