I'm trying to see the good but it's getting harder and harder. This sickens me to my soul beyond any words I could come up with. That poor lady. OMG, I hope she is okay. I don't want to live in a world where more and more humans are behaving like this. Evil thrives in conjunction with apathy. What have we become? This is on that evil one's head. He encouraged and stirred up this horrific bigotry and hate.

He closed door on helpless victim. She was punched and kicked causing her to fall. He then kicked her multiple times in the head before fleeing. Victim is currently hospitalized with swelling to the face, pain in left leg. @NYPDHateCrimes
investigating. Here’s the suspect. 2/2

So is this pic of the guy that attacked her or the one watching from inside and then closed the door while she lay out there ?

When will this stop? Maybe if people grew some balls and attacked the attacker in return then people would think twice about starting shit. I pray I never see it in person because I would go to jail. I'd be completely unhinged when provoked bad enough.

Even if the guy was beating on a man, when one person is beating on a second person like that, you step in and stop the beating. The rest can be sorted out later.

"Bob, there's a guy kicking an old woman in the head."

"She might have used the n-word. Close the door George."

With one of the passive onlookers saying that the Asian man used the n-word.

I'll remove my post since my wondering seems to be upsetting people.

The lack of any help for the old woman strikes me as totally bizarre.

It may be Misinterpretation of a Mandarin homophone that sounds exactly like the N word.

So many people, posted on that tweet, are claiming it is fake, staged! Their argument is: Why is it being video taped exactly at the moment of the attack? etc. etc. No one is attacking Asians.

Do people really believe this nonsense. Buildings in NYC have security and security cameras. They will say anything to get Trump off the hook for these racist attacks.

is when the attack happened . And the attack is what they are showing to us.

What do you mean no one is attacking Asians ? There have been many attacks .

Trump being trash doesn't excuse others behaving the same way.

Here’s another angle of the 65-year-old Asian American woman (Filipino) repeatedly kicked in her head in Hell’s Kitchen yesterday. Witness says a man chased down the assailant to confront him but the perpetrator pulled a knife. @NYPDHateCrimes is investigating. #StopAsianHate

Clearly, he is an asshole, so has made enemies over time. One of them will see the video an drop a dime on him. That was a disgusting, violent attack against that older woman, and by a big, burly guy.

He should do some time over it.
