Katerinaโ€™s parents have owned Franklin Market 25 yrs. 72-y/o father Petros (known as Peter) was attacked last week #SanFrancisco Image
A man allegedly came into the store to use the restroom. When Peter explained there were no public restrooms the man got belligerent & pulled out a knife.
โ €
Peter was stabbed in the chest, arm and left eye.

This all comes as his wife was diagnosed w/breast cancer #SanFrancisco Image
Peter is an immigrant from Eritrea.
โ €
His daughter Katerina told me her father โ€œcame to this country to find a new life & what we thought was a safe lifeโ€ฆand now theyโ€™ve never been this terrified.โ€

He is now having problems seeing in his right eye which was not stabbed. Image
Her father doesnโ€™t have health insurance and Katerina set up a @gofundme for him.

A number of customers of the market Iโ€™ve talked with say Peter was always a good natured and happy guy.

Jacqueline & her husband live in Stockton & were celebrating their 12th anniversary when their car was broken into at Fishermanโ€™s Wharf.

#SanFrancisco Image
Jacqueline brings Leo everywhere but the 1 time she thought he was too cold & tired she put him in his car carrier & tucked it under the carโ€™s dash, mostly out of sight.
โ €
She got back about an hour later & said โ€œmy heart fellโ€ฆI knew something happened.โ€ #SanFrancisco ImageImage
This happened at North Point & Powell. Jacqueline & her husband spent all night searching but had to drive home. She is devastated.
โ €
She said this trip โ€œwas supposed to be happy & beautiful & it turned traumatic. My heart just broke leaving the city without Leo.โ€ #SanFrancisco ImageImage

This 71-year-old Asian Latino man was bitten by a woman & dragged face-down on the pavement for his jade necklace.

He lost 7 teeth & now needs dental implants. He told me โ€œI love Oakland but not anymore.โ€

Today he met with Carl Chan of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce who was attacked himself last month.

Carl is not only helping him w/services but encouraged him to speak out to encourage other Asians โ€œnot be afraid.โ€

#StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHate #AAPIHM
There was also a witness named Linda. She told me multiple cars drove around the 71 y/oโ€™s body & NOBODY stopped.

The man is grateful for Linda saying she was a โ€œGood Samaritan to me & I will forever be grateful to her.โ€

โ€œTruly patheticโ€ Sources tell me charges were dropped in the case of this 75-year old woman who was dragged by her hair & assaulted in an attempted carjacking in the Richmond in March.

I wanted to know why & reached out to Rachel Marshallโ€ฆ

(1/4)
Here are our emails. (There are more but I can only post 4 at a time) & by now you get the gist of the back-and-forth.

Note: my information is indeed accurate. I reviewed my logs of what I said to the ADA back in March about blurring & they only refer to TV and website video.
The Good Samaritan who saved the senior (punched thru her windshield to scare the suspects) said in part:

โ€œI believe in restorative justice and I understand Chesa has a model butโ€ฆ his way of going about it is not working.โ€ He later said โ€œyou lost a fan.โ€

Today the media & community waited for Chesa Boudin outside Fanly Chenโ€™s store in Chinatown

She was attacked & pepper sprayed after stopping a shoplifter

Chesa was supposedly going to visit

Critics say he appears w/AAPIs for โ€œphoto opsโ€ so I asked...

1/4 #StopAsianHate #AAPI
Fanly her thoughts: โ€œI donโ€™t care about him use meโ€ฆI just want to do the right thingโ€

So we waited. Chesa didnโ€™t show. Ppl f/DAโ€™s office did met w/Fanly tho

They came out & Fanly said something different: she didnโ€™t expect Boudin today.

#StopAsianHate #AAPIHM

(2/4)
Nobody f/the DAโ€™s office who met w/Fanly today wanted to talk.

This is what I emailed Chesa and his communications person shortly after I left the store.

I have yet to receive a response.

As if hearing an 80-year old man cry out for help after getting knocked to the ground in San Leandro isnโ€™t bad enoughโ€ฆ

...the suspects are teens as young as 16 and you can hear one laughing loudly.

(1/3) #stopaapihate #aapi
This comes as SLPD report a nearly 300-percent increase in crimes toward AAPI in 2020 vs 2019

The getaway car was seen less than 2 hours later in a strong-armed robbery. Several weeks agoโ€” a rash of burglaries & carjackings by suspected minors

(2/3) #stopaapihate #aapi
SLPD canโ€™t say for certain these are hate-crime/race-motivated they tell me the numbers donโ€™t lie.

Theyโ€™ve increased patrols & are working w/the DA b/c re-offending is a problem.

BTW: The 80-year old is OK but thinks his attack was hate-motivated.

Ben was a guard at a homeless facility where it happened.
โ €
He saw my story & IDโ€™d Thompson right away (1/5)
โ €
#stopasianhate Image
Ben says if Thompson was beind bars & not on mental health diversion in 2020 โ€” the double stabbing of 2 Asian seniors on Market this week would not have happened.

Mr. Thompson refused to show up at his arraignment today.

So I asked Chesa at court...

#stopaapihate #aapi
โ€ฆthe DA why he blamed the judge for Mr. Thompsonโ€™s mental health diversion when as district attorney he could have objected to it.

He side-stepped my question & gave a definition of what mental health diversion is. (3/5)
