Asian teacher recalls brutal attack in Seattle's Chinatown-International District

A Seattle-area teacher brutally assaulted in the city's Chinatown International District said the pain she felt during the attack is nothing compared to how she feels knowing her assailant won't be charged with a hate crime.

At MOST a ONE YEAR sentence? For a beating that BRUTAL? Forget racism. That's a crime against humanity.

So attacker needs to say "I am committing hate crime against you" before attacking. Unbelievable. Only one year in jail after hurting someone that bad? No wonder criminals are continuously committing crimes.

The US government needs to redefine what hate crime is seriously.

'unbelievable' one year!! fricken kidding me !! so the legal system is just to keep releasing him till he kills someone? 'ticking time bomb'

[swadgenegerkhan]

When attacking other people without reason because of their race it’s a hate crime.

"don't have enough evidence to prove a first degree assault case." He premeditated by putting rocks in a sock.

Why do she have to suffer to recall everything this man did to her, this is a hate crime straight up. 🤔 This man do not need to be walking around citizen and being in society.🤔

American legal system is so full of garbage. Regardless of intent, hate or not, these types of violent attacks should be minimum 5 yrs.

This was assault with a deadly weapon. It was a hate crime, because what other reason would as person randomly attack two Asians on the street right now. What is the motive? There was no robbery. The motive was hate. It is appalling to me that a person can assault a person in a manner that could have killed them and resulted in such severe injury and get a MAX of one How can this be????

To the suspect: just spend your life in jail.

Assault with a deadly weapon 6 to 10 years !!

If the victim would have lied and said he did say something, it would have been elevated. This woman was a good person. Even being a victim she did not lie about what happened and neither did the boy friend.

A Rock to the Head is a Life-Threatening Attack, if survived, a Life Debilitating Attack.
One Year in Jail with a bed & 3 warm meals is not Justice.

[saltymonke]

You know the color of the perpetrator since media doesn't mention it.

[firespark]

What do they mean not a hate crime?!?!
Assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault, bodily injury, violence and attempted murder against two human beings...this sounds like a hateful and violent crime!!!😱

New meaning to "Blind Justice" in America.

I totally agree with Asian-american teacher: She was hurt, insulted & humiliated not only by black killer but by his lawyer & judge who supported killer because they are scared of him too.

[fdszerr]

This was a hate crime because this man took the time put rocks in his sock to attack this couple straight up hate crime 🤔💔

[lovewillbeourhome]

Because he is black so that's not hate crime if white thats hate crime. So sad people now look on the colors not on the penalty of sinned.
