Carl as advocated tirelessly for Asian Americans as theyโ€™ve 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

(2/4) #StopAAPIHate
He stuck around at the scene of 8th + Broadway and was able to ID the suspected attacker about 25 mins later. OPD was able to make an arrest.

Carl says he is going to monitor his head closely & is glad it was him who was attackedโ€” not a senior or child.

(3/4) #StopAsianHate
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.

#StopAsianHate
UPDATE: Carl tells me he is so appreciative of everyoneโ€™s 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.

Patrick Elliott & his family were on a CA road trip & visited Fishermanโ€™s Wharf Monday
โ €
(1/5) #StopAAPIHate Image
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 โ€œyou Asiansโ€ and spit on one relative.

Another family member recorded what happened

#StopAsianHate
(2/5)
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 Fishermanโ€™s Wharf incident

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

#stopAsianhate
(2/4)
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

Banks was released & allegedly involved in an car burglary in Twin Peaks just

Semisiโ€™s dad even told Banks he still had time to turn his life around. Banks is only a few years younger than Semisi.

Banks didnโ€™t listen since he was arrested in the Visitacion Valley incident shortly after

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)
