"Attack on elderly Filipino woman on San Diego trolley" trump's legacy

"Posted at 6:16 PM, Feb 15, 2021 and last updated 8:37 AM, Feb 16, 2021" on our local ABC 10News.

"Attack on elderly Filipino woman on San Diego trolley"
"There has been a wave of attacks on older Asian-Americans throughout the country"

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- An elderly Filipino woman was the victim of an unprovoked attack on a San Diego trolley, multiple sources told ABC 10News.

Sources said a man punched her for seemingly no reason at all. Witnesses helped her report it to police. She was treated at a local hospital. It is unclear if any arrest has been made.

“My first reaction is angry and then I was just sad for her,” said JoAnn Fields, a community advocate and director of the Filipino Resource Center.

Community advocate JoAnn Fields said she has noticed an increase in incidents since the start of the pandemic. “The previous president calling the coronavirus the Chinese virus… that just amplified, I believe, hate toward our community,” Fields said.

What kind of soulless, depraved filth would physically abuse an elderly person, regardless of race or gender???

What the hell is going on in their head? My husband has a couple of relatives who I'm fearful of because we are Democrats. One of them was hell bent on going to the capitol insurrection, but couldn't get a ride. He's gone quiet on social media (for now).

edit: grammar
