His wife Dong said if the knife was bigger he would be dead.

This comes as 61 + 71 year old Asian women were robbed (one at gunpoint) on Sunday.
โ €
Police addressed the increase in violent crime during a Zoom press conference tonite.

Chilingโ€™s health insurance deductible is $6500 & he worries about paying it on a postal worker salary

Theyโ€™d like to move out of the Bayview but 1st are saving for a car so they wonโ€™t have to walk home late f/ the bus stop any more

My entire story is tonight at 11 @abc7newsbayarea.

Note: police say right now no indication this was racially motivated but is under investigation

The family was grateful for victim services & a non-profit that helped helped set up the GFM account

How he was apprehended: D1 linebacker @saluni_20 for @beaverfootball held him down w/his cousin as police arrived! He had no idea Banks would later be involved in a hot prowl

Semisiโ€™s dad even told Banks he still had time to turn his life around. Banks is only a few years younger than Semisi.
โ €
Banks didnโ€™t listen since he was arrested in the Visitacion Valley incident shortly after

The DAโ€™s office responded to my inquiry...

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
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)

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)

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.

She escaped & her alleged assailant arrested.

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
