Chinese woman suffers skull fractures after being struck with baseball bat from behind in Seattle

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.”

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

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.

Paranoid of Asians, quite possibly, thanks to the last 2years of pandemic blaming.

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

I’ve 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.

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.

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.

These are hit jobs. "Tulloss allegedly roamed around after the attack and even treated himself to a slice of pizza"
The murder of a Korean American and the same for the other attacks.

You can't reduce penalties without changing criminal behavior and call it reform. The first goal of the criminal justice system is to protect the public not the criminals.

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.

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.

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.

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.
