Carl as advocated tirelessly for Asian Americans as theyโve been attacked in Oakland.
He said he mustered up all his strength after being called a slur, stood up after getting hit in the back of the head & took a picture of the man he says attacked him
Carl was the one who rallied store owners in Chinatown to share surveillance video of attacks. He gave them a voice when they were scared to speak out.
He told me Oakland mayor @LibbySchaaf called him & was in tears she was so upset.
UPDATE: Carl tells me he is so appreciative of everyoneโs support. He has received messages from hundreds of people since it happened and wants to send his thanks.
He also took this photo of the arrest of his suspected attacker.

(1/5) #StopAAPIHate
Documents I obtained show Carlos Claros approached the family with 2 associates & showed a gun & attempted to take cell phones
โ
Patrick said Claros called them โyou Asiansโ and spit on one relative.
I discovered Claros has an extensive criminal history incl. drug & stolen car possession last year & involvement in strong-armed robbery spree in late 2019 spanning multiple neighborhoods.
He was on probation during the Fishermanโs Wharf incident

She was unknowingly followed to the Sunset, miles away by two suspects in a white SUV.
โ
The SUV bypasses two walking down the street to turn around & target Ms. Lee.

Chiling Lee was walking home in the Bayview late Saturday night from his USPS job when he was stabbed 5 times. In the head, chest, stomach & hand.
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.

Police addressed the increase in violent crime during a Zoom press conference tonite.

Police documents show Roman Banks was arrested for kidnapping, conspiracy & burglary at the Visitacion Valley home of 2 Chinese seniors ages 81 and 87
โ
Months earlier...
(1/4) #StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHate
Banks was released & allegedly involved in an car burglary in Twin Peaks just
โ
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
โ
(2/4) #StopAAPIHate
Semisiโs dad even told Banks he still had time to turn his life around. Banks is only a few years younger than Semisi.
โ
Banks didnโt listen since he was arrested in the Visitacion Valley incident shortly after
The DAโs 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 didnโt let go. 1 suspect punched her in the face 3 times.
โ
She struggles & hangs on to the getaway car as itโs driving away. She eventually fell into the street where bystanders help
Clarisse isnโt in much pain & her family didnโt 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: โI forgive you...& hope & pray you get what you need out of life...(3/4)

No child should have to endure this terror. Forced into a bathroom while men ransack her familyโs home.
โ
I met w/a man (he wants to stay anonymous, so Iโll call him โMr. 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)
