No child should have to endure this terror. Forced into a bathroom while men ransack her familyโ€™s home.
โ €
I met w/a man (he wants to stay anonymous, so Iโ€™ll call him โ€œMr. Kโ€)โ€”

His home in the Portola district was ransacked Friday with his 11-year old cousin inside as she was distance learning.
โ €
The two suspects grabbed her & made her stay in the bathroom & told her to stay quiet while they stole foreign currency & cameras. (2/4)

That very day Mr. K also had his car broken into while visiting loved onesโ€™ gravesites at a cemetery in Colma.

He said in the 28-years he has lived in Portola he has never experienced something like this. (3/4)

#StopAsianHate Image
He wanted to stay private but allows me to share his story to raise awareness & hopefully make change.

PS: Mr. K says the suspects took pillow cases off the bed to fill with valuables.

Call SFPD 575-4444 if you can help their investigation. Image

I spoke to a woman named Clarisse today who was walking home from church w/a friend Sunday afternoon when she was attacked at Polk & Bush Streets
โ €
(1/4) #StopAsianHate
3 ppl approached from behind and one grabbed her handbag. Clarisse didnโ€™t let go. 1 suspect punched her in the face 3 times.
โ €
She struggles & hangs on to the getaway car as itโ€™s driving away. She eventually fell into the street where bystanders help

(2/4) #StopAAPIHate ImageImage
Clarisse isnโ€™t in much pain & her family didnโ€™t want her to speak out. But she wanted to share her story to raise awareness of what happens in San Francisco.
โ €
To the young men: โ€œI forgive you...& hope & pray you get what you need out of life...(3/4)

Oakland gas station owner Cwell says this man made racially-charged statements after Cwell didnโ€™t allow him to pay for his gas in quarters b/c they couldnโ€™t all fit in the register. (1/4)
When Cwell noticed the man getting something in his pocket he grabbed some cleaning spray to protect himself.

But it was too late. Surveillance video shows the man spraying Cwell w/what looks like pepper spray. Cwell had to go to the ER.

Here you can see the man and the pile of quarters. He seems to be irritated after both the cashier and Cwell say he canโ€™t use them. The man starts recording. (3/4)

Heโ€™s taking a few days off.

SFPD is investigating.
UPDATE: An Uber spokesperson sent me this statementโ€” โ€œThe behavior seen in the video is appalling. The rider no longer has access to Uber.โ€
UPDATE: Subhakar shared these images with me detailing how Uber offered him $20 to clean his car after one of the riders, according to SFPD sprayed what is believed to be pepper spray in his car.

Uber then offered him $40. In the end he was given $120 for his ordeal.

โ€œValeriaโ€ thought she was going to be raped after she was attacked & dragged into a homeless encampment.
โ €
She escaped & her alleged assailant arrested.
โ €
2+ months later the same man was arrested for raping a woman in a parking garage. (1/3)
Suspect Allen Stewart was wearing an ankle monitor during the rape.

Valeria came to the US f/Mexico 17 years ago & told me โ€œI thought the US was safe.ย  I want that for my daughter.ย  I want my daughter as a woman to be successful &...to dream w/o being assaulted.โ€ (2/3) ImageImage
Valeria told me:

โ€œI want genuine help for myself and for the other people that he assaulted. I want him to stay in jail.โ€

My email to the DAโ€™s office & to Chesa Boudin on Thursday (originally was to air Friday) asking why Stewart was out w/ ankle monitor was not answered. Image

โ €
When we talked tonightโ€”she said she
(1/3)
wasnโ€™t angry at the suspects. Despite 2 flashing guns she actually tried to diffuse the situation by telling them there were cameras and people all around.
โ €
She just wants this message to get out: speak out if you see something like this happening. Donโ€™t just watch. (2/3)
Finally one man stopped after the ordeal ended and helped her.
โ €
Ari says she worked 3 jobs to pay for her car right out of high school and would like it back. Itโ€™s a white 2015 Toyota Carolla S with plates 7LYN600. She has filed a police report (3/3)

BREAKING: โ€œPlease donโ€™t hurt my kidsโ€ Sean & Winnifred Fang are 4 & almost 2. Their dad says they were kidnapped when a man stole his van while delivering food in Pacific Heights.

Dad says kids speak only Mandarin. SFPD issuing Amber Alert shortly. ImageImage
This happened in the 2100 block of Jackson around 8:45 tonight.

@SFPD confirm theyโ€™re looking for a silver Honda Odyssey with 7FPK543 plates.
FOUND! @SFPD say the kids are safe but are getting medical out just as a precaution. Waiting on details about what happened. So, so relieved.
