I guess hate crimes against Asians have become blasé that this incident is not worthy of greater publicity and wider condemnation. Where is the outrage from our electeds? Where is this thug from and what was he doing in our neighborhood? This is absolutely horrific that this attack happened in our diverse community. Kudos to the NYPD for obtaining and sharing this video. Hope they catch this violent creep and our legal system keeps him off the streets.
