He was anchoring the news while I grew up in Philly and left in 1984. He was one of Action News's two "jimmies" (not sprinkles, but jimmies are a Philly thing), Jim O'Brien and Jim Gardner.

A true Philly institution. And we all know what happened to Jim O’Brien ☹️. I think of him when I watch Frazier reruns on Cozi, “Roz” is his daughter and she looks just like him.

Gardner was the 'It' guy in Philly news before I left PA for TN. I had no idea he was still around. And yeah, I remember Jim O'Brien, too.

The good ole days.

I thought it was worth an eyebrow raise that one motivation was assumed but the other not.

And with how much anti-AAPI hate has been minimized, ignored, or explained away in the past few years, I've gotten very sensitive to eliding over motivations that at least deserve similar consideration.

Not so much young strong men

The Asian assaults seem to skew older

Kyle Rittenhouse beat a girl, then got a gun and escalated to shooting people.
