The incident, which was caught on surveillance video, occurred in the 200 block of Cedar Street at around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 31, as per The Seattle Times.
The victim, whose name has not been officially released by authorities, was walking home from work when 31-year-old Wantez Jamel Tulloss allegedly struck her head with a baseball bat from behind.
In the video, the suspect can be seen dropping two bags in his right hand so that he could use both hands to hit Wang with the bat.
Police responded to a 911 call and found Wang lying on the sidewalk with a bloodied right ear. She sustained skull fractures that required significant surgery.

(16,099 posts)have there always been so many who tend toward violence or is maga culture encouraging more acting out of violence? Is it something else?

(33,327 posts)As long as I've been here. I pass them weekly. Men and women. Sometimes they (mainly the men) become homicidal.
The Cafe Racer rampage shooting, 2012: untreated schizophrenic with a gun.
Shannon Harps stabbing, 2007: untreated schizophrenic with a knife.
This poor woman, 2022: untreated schizophrenic with a club.
And it's not just Seattle:
Gabby Giffords rampage shooting.
VA Tech rampage shooting.
I don't think that it has much to do with MAGA culture. The mentally ill are always with us.
ON EDIT: I assume it is a Schizophrenic. I don't know.

People like this need full time facilities, especially the ones prone to violence.

(113,052 posts)Ive lived almost 5 decades with a sister diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 18. When she was in her 20s and 30s and refusing medication she was capable of violence and even came close to committing homicide in response to her paranoid thoughts.

(22,063 posts)Along with assault with a deadly weapon. Drops his bags so he can use both hands to swing a bat sounds like he habitually carries that deadly weapon when he goes out for groceries.
Poor, innocent woman.

(1,969 posts)It does us no good to keep convicting people of assault and strong arm robbery against woman if we are just going to release them with time served when they see the judge.

The murder of a Korean American and the same for the other attacks.

(1,898 posts)Quite likely schizophrenic. IDK what can be done about this
except better monitoring of mentally ill individuals. Any
ideas?
How many non-Asians are attacked by the mentally ill a day in the US?
I'll wager a non-trivial number.

(3,858 posts)But I have heard that Asian women are targeted because they offer little resistance, are less likely to file a report and they often carry cash.

I see nothing short of attempted murder here.

(1,969 posts)We need to reverse course on this no incarceration for convicted criminals nonsense. This is the exact reason why. Very few of them are in jail for "smoking a joint" despite what I read here. Many released are perpetrators of violence against woman.

(33,327 posts)Was he convicted of a recent violent offense and give no jail time? Your comment inidicates that you know the specifics.
All I know is he was in transitional housing.
