I know this is older news being from the ancient times of a couple of weeks ago, and most likely everyone’s moved on to the outrage de jour, but I just ran across it so I thought it was worth mentioning.

We have cops being called murderers for using legitimate deadly force to save someone’s life.

And we have this guy:

The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office has dropped charges against a man who was arrested in connection with last month’s attack on an elderly Asian man in San Francisco.
…
Grayson is allegedly heard in the video background saying “I hate Asians.”
…
District Attorney Chesa Boudin said he dropped the charges in favor of having Grayson go through a city justice program.

Apparently, Asian bashing is only a hate crime when a white supremacist (defined as anyone who’s skin tone is more pale than “olive”) is accused of it. When blacks are involved, it’s just a pat on the head and an admonition to “go forth and sin no more”.

Granted, Grayson wasn’t the one actually doing the bashing, he was just a cheerleader who “hate[s] Asians”, but if someone named Billy Joe Jim Bob was charged under similar circumstances I wonder if a city diversion program would be deemed sufficient.

Somehow I doubt it.

All that hand-wringing about Asians being assaulted sure got real quiet when the media discovered the uncomfortable fact that it wasn’t white MAGA supporters doing the assaulting, didn’t it?

By the way: I wonder if San Francisco’s had any luck in figuring out why their crime rate has been skyrocketing over the past few years?
