Mychelle was riding the bus 4/26 when a man starts yelling & hits Mr. Hua Lin in the head (1/5) #StopAsianHate
Mychelle blocks the man f/Mr. Lin, pushes Mr. Lin against the Plexiglass to protect him.
โ €
She then tells the driver to stop, jumps out, flags down an ambulance & chases the perp while recording w/her cell.
โ €
The man comes back to attack Mychelle! But Mr. Lin is safe. #oakland
I visited Mr. Lin and his daughter after the incident. He was having trouble seeing and sleeping.
โ €
This incident happened the same day Oakland Chinatown Chamber president Carl Chan was attacked by someone else.

Carl was on his way to check on Mr. Lin. #StopAAPIHate (3/5) ImageImage
Carl told me after he learned about Mychelleโ€™s actions he wanted to fundraise for her.

Mychelle told me there was a shooting today next to where she lives.

She declined Carlโ€™s offer many times saying sheโ€™s a โ€œnobodyโ€.

He wants to help find her a new, safer place to live.
โ €
Carl said it best: โ€œIt doesnโ€™t matter who we are. Black, Asian, white, Hispanic, whatever race. We need to unite and work together to fight COVID and fight hate.โ€

The fundraising page will be up later tonight. abc7ne.ws/3ortCJC #StopAsianHate

Thien was w/ his kids Weds PM when a man asks him what kind of flag is on his house (1/4)
This is the flag. Itโ€™s a dinosaur. Thien bought it for his 3y/o son.

Thien thought the man was asking ab his โ€œTagaโ€ brand bike. Taga sounds like Tagalog, which is spoken in the Philippines. (Thien is Vietnamese.)

The man then starts calling Thien all kinds of thingsโ€ฆ (2/4)

Sat night, she told me a regular customer was โ€ฆ(1/4)
#StopAAPIHate
โ€ฆ waiting for his to-go order and wanted a beer in a cold glass.
โ €
The restaurant was out so she offered him a regular to-go cup instead.
โ €
Ms. Lau says he yelled โ€œYou are such a bitch you are horribleโ€ before you see what appears to be the man throw a cup at Lau.
โ €
(2/4)
When Lauโ€™s friend intervened you can see she was not only thrown to the ground but punched.
โ €
Lau can be seen chasing after the man & throwing an object to get him to leave. She filed a police report online.
โ €
Both women are physically okay. Lau plans to press charges. (3/4)

โ€œIt was jarring & stunning, completely caught me off guardโ€ & for other kids the cheer was โ€œLetโ€™s go _____!โ€ (Insert childโ€™s name.)

Web says no adult tried to stop the chanting & would like this to be an educational experience. Not part of cancel culture. #StopAAPIHate
He wrote letters to the commissioners & the headmaster of Webโ€™s sonโ€™s school has reached out.

Tomorrow @StopAAPIHate responds w/why this is racist & how theyโ€™d deal with it.

SO much more to talk aboutโ€ฆ

Butโ€ฆ (1/5) #Respect #911Anniversary #911Memorial
โ€ฆI am so grateful he opened his heart to us at the cemetery where Betty is. He told me a part of her leg bone was found 3 blocks f/the World Trade Center.

Betty was the flight attendant on American Airlines flight 11 who made the 1st call about the chaos on board. #911Memorial
For those who havenโ€™t heard the call, youโ€™ll hear her bravery. Her calm. Her composure.

Harry told me later he can tell there is some fear in her voice but she had the determination to keep her passengers & team safe. #911Anniversary

This woman was attacked for her iPhone, her hand closed in a car window, dragged for half a block & 2-/ bitten by 1 of her assailants in Pacific Heights

I spoke the woman who wants to be identified only as โ€œVโ€ (1/4) #aapi
โ €
She was running Sunday night & was crossing California & Fillmore when suddenly 1 or 4 teens got out of a car & grabbed her cell.

When they saw her watch she was grabbed & pulled into the car & window shut on her hand.

She says 1 bit her & pushed her out. #SanFrancisco
V says she was dragged for almost a block on California so you can imagine how much pain sheโ€™s in. One finger is numb

V is determined to find her perpetrators & is hoping people who may know who these suspects are to help. (She says theyโ€™re teensโ€” including two โ€œprettyโ€ blondes)
