BMW owner Bill brought his car to Americaโ€™s Tire in Santa Clara in Sept. (1/4)
He says the car came back with a crack in the windshield and a nick in the paint.
โ €
When he checked the dash cam video he was shocked to see the workers rev the engine, laugh, talk about throwing car parts & then mock Bill using an Asian accent. (2/4) #bmw #StopAAPIHate
After Billโ€™s friend w/ 219K followers on IG posted the video Bill says AT offered him a new set of tires & $5K & asked for the video to be removed.
โ €
I went to the shop where the incident happened & learned the two employees are no longer working for the company. I alsoโ€ฆ (3/5)
Got a statement f/the company & followed up asking what they were doing to address the racist mocking but didnโ€™t hear back in time for deadline.
โ €
Bill: โ€œItโ€™s definitely insulting b/c theyโ€™re not treating me as a victim of racism but theyโ€™re treating me as a PR nightmare.โ€ (4/5)
NOTE: I noticed the businessโ€™ Yelp page has been temporarily disabled. This happens when there is an influx of negative reviews due to an incident such as this.

Will update when I heard back from ATโ€™s PR on the racist mocking.

This happened just a couple hours ago around Larkin & Oโ€™Farrell in San Francisco.#StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate (1/3)
The suspect even BREAKS the cane & leaves for a moment then returns & appears to rob the senior.

The victim has to be taken to the hospital and Iโ€™m told the suspect was arrested.

(2/3) #StopAsianHate #SanFrancisco
On a human noteโ€” I see a lot of this s**t as a reporter.

While it is ALL awful, there is something especially egregious that makes me sick about crimes targeting the elderly who use need help walking. I canโ€™t help but think of this:

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

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.)

Lau can be seen chasing after the man & throwing an object to get him to leave. She filed a police report online.

Both women are physically okay. Lau plans to press charges. (3/4)

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
