Police in San Francisco arrested a 19-year-old African-American male named Antoine Watson on suspicion of murder for an attack on an 84-year-old Asian man in the city’s Anza Vista neighborhood, according to Fox KTVU.
The victim was later identified as Thai-American Vicha Ratanapakdee.
Watson was booked on suspicion of murder, elder abuse, and assault with a deadly weapon.
Police also arrested 20-year-old Maylasia Goo on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact.
The city isn’t releasing mugshots anymore because the mugshots are disproportionately African-American.
According to Vicha’s GoFundMe page, “Eighty-four-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee died at 3AM on Saturday, January 30, 2021 at S.F. General from injuries sustained while on his morning walk in the Anza Vista neighborhood of San Francisco. Originally from Thailand, he was a nearly blind, gentle person beloved by his family. He was violently taken from them by a despicable 19-year-old thug that came to his neighborhood in a stolen vehicle and decided to prove how tough he was by brutalizing a senior citizen. Our family has endured multiple verbal Anti-Asian attacks since the beginning of the pandemic, this time it was Fatal.”
Imagine if an Asian or Caucasian teenager brutally attacked an African-American senior citizen without cause? Can you imagine the hundreds of Asian stores being burned to the ground like 2020, the murals painted on the walls, the weeks of looting and destruction in the name of justice?
However, the victim was an 84-year-old Asian man and the assailant was African-American, which does not fit the narrative.
Therefore, there will be no national outrage, no murals painted on walls, no looting or pillaging of cities and neighborhoods.

The left may feel as you say they do, but the left has no power.
Liberals are doing this.
Think so?
Know so.
If conservatives can't learn the difference, they're done, and by their own hands.
Years ago, I remember watching someone say on TV that too many newsrooms write the headline and then tell the reporters to suit the facts to it.
I don't know how rampant that is, but the Atlanta shootings make me wonder.
We were told that a white man (who else?) shot a bunch of Asians.
Why? Because he hates Asians? The media ran with that story even after the police debunked it as fake news..
In other words, the facts did not prove the headline.
Andrew Sullivan has a point: "We have yet to find any credible evidence of anti-Asian hatred or bigotry in this man's history. Maybe we will. We can't rule it out. But we do know that his roommates say they once asked him if he picked the spas for sex because the women were Asian. And they say he denied it, saying he thought those spas were just the safest way to have quick sex. That needs to be checked out more. But the only piece of evidence about possible anti-Asian bias points away, not toward it."
Nevertheless, some in the media just couldn't wait to pin another one "white supremacy," which is nothing but another way of keeping Trump in the news in a desperate bid to get their ratings up to pre-Biden levels.
They can't stop talking about 45, even if means creating narratives that have nothing to do with the truth. The man in Mar-a-Lago is still living rent-free in their heads.

An interesting thing to note here is how these attacks are happening in what are bastions of Leftist Progressivism like San Fran... Why is that? Wouldn't one think that in the heart of Leftist utopias that such racist attacks would not be happening?
The fact is that the attacks on Asians that I've seen recently were all perpetrated by black people, yet the media keeps insisting that they are the work of white supremacists incited by Trump's accurate description of the national origin of the Chinese virus.
Does the media know that "China" isn't a race, and that saying that something is from China when it is from China isn't "hate speech"?
The leftists in the media don't want you to look at the statistics
The shooting in Atlanta had the media in desperate spin mode to declare that the root cause of the shooting was a white male who was perpetrating an advanced hate crime against Asians. This was being pushed by most news outlets, despite an abject lack of any hard evidence.
The shooter never indicated prior to harboring an animus towards Asians, and the authorities never heard anything after the shooting to point towards the claim. The fact he attacked multiple massage parlors would also indicate the locations were the primary focus of his rage.
Yet, the press continued down this path, going so far as to impugn the lead investigating officer as well.
Their charge was based on his having once posted an image of a gag t-shirt referencing the virus as originating in China. That this had zero to do with the shooter, and zero to do with his motives, was not a factor; it served to somehow prove the narrative as accurate.
We heard repeatedly how this shooting was an extension of the steep rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, a figure said to have spiked by 150% last year. While numerous outlets have repeated this figure, the source from where it has been referenced is less enthusiastically cited.
This comes from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. While that 150% rise sounds jarring, what we come to learn when looking over the figures is that it is rooted in a number that was significantly low to begin with.
Get ready to be unimpressed.
This ‘’spike’’ in hate crimes has been described as ‘’soaring’’, ‘’jumping’’, and any other dramatic adjective.
Last year, across the top urban centers, the amount of anti-Asian hate crimes was tabulated at — ONE HUNDRED TWENTY TWO.
You read that correctly. 122 is the entirety of the anti-Asian hate crimes counted in the big cities. Understand this includes all manner of reports, including possibly racist words spoken or other non-violent confrontations.
In 2019, the nationwide total was 49. Last year it "soared" to an additional 79 cases.
In New York City, cited as one of the biggest contributors to this sharp rise of intolerance, the amount of anti-Asian hate crimes spiked to 28 cases. This is in a city of over 8 million citizens.
And of course, the source for all of this violence was readily cited; former President Donald Trump. See, his having insisted on referring to the pandemic as being due to the ‘’Wuhan virus’’, or ‘’Chinese virus’’ is said to be the cause of this intolerance. This rationale falls apart when something lacking in the media industry gets applied — common sense.
There is nothing at all to connect this shooting to the practice of naming a viral outbreak after the location of origin. For generations we have used this precise tactic, and at no point would you point to an outbreak of violence towards a group as a result. The media themselves cannot keep things straight, as they had for months reported on the outbreak with the Wuhan virus being noted. Even after their lectures, the press has been more than willing to note there was a regional mutation of the virus, which they curiously are comfortable having dubbed the ”South African variant’’.
This whole claim suffers also from the fact that they are selling this myth as a continental effect. Naming the virus after the city of origin, or even the country, is still rather specific, but we are told the intolerance is aimed at all people from Asia…somehow.
Call it ”Wuhan virus’’ and South Koreans are threatened?
Explain how ”Chinese virus’’ leads to people from Japan becoming targeted for hate crimes.
If we applied a direct-line measurement, the amount of newly inspired intolerance towards Chinese-Americans would shrink to well below that 122 caseload.
This is a massive dose of convenience for the media.
How come when the Ebola virus was all across the news, we did not see people from all African nations being victimized with intolerance?
It turns out there may be a reason for this hyped hate hysteria.
In the last election, there was a strong drop of support for DEMOCRATS among Asian-American voters, in some cases a drop of over five percentage points. Donald Trump seeing record amounts of minority votes in November has shaken the party, and by extension the media complex.
How else could it be explained that a shooting this month can be attributed to a man using a disapproved name for a virus, who has been out of office since January and has barely been heard from for months?
The press is tipping its hand by pushing this desperate agenda. Too bad for them that the numbers do not exactly support their shrieking and finger-pointing.

60-year-old Vietnamese American man is attacked from behind in Chicago
A 60 year old Asian man told his daughter that he went out for his daily walk at about 11 p.m. on March 20. He was going south on the east side of North Broadway near West Ainslie Street when he was hit on the left side of his head, his daughter, Kaylee Cong, said.
She said her father froze at first as the man he believed punched him continued walking for about 100 feet.
The 60-year-old snapped a picture with his cellphone that Cong showed the Tribune, but only a silhouette was captured. (I'll bet)
After turning around, her father saw another man standing on the sidewalk in front of him with a baseball bat tucked under his arm, Cong said.
Her father put his phone to his ear and shouted, “I’m calling 911.” The two stared at each other for at least a minute until Cong’s father decided to continue walking north past the man, on the road to avoid him, and headed home.
Ms. Cong said her father told her he couldn’t see the first man, just his black clothing, but the second man did not appear Asian. Both were taller and bigger than him, he said to Cong.

Since he clearly saw and described one of his attackers, and no description of his assailants was reported, what can be surmised?
