Elderly Asian woman fights off attacker in San Francisco
2021-03-19
[THEHILL] An elderly woman in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
fought off an attacker on Wednesday, with both the woman and the assailant taken to a hospital after the incident.

Xiao Zhen Xie, 76, told KPIX 5 in the Northern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, city that she was waiting at a traffic light when a man allegedly punched her in her left eye. KPIX 5 described it as just the latest attack against an Asian American person in the city. Such attacks have been rising amid the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.

Xie fought back against the man with a nearby stick and, after authorities arrived at the scene, the man was taken away in a stretcher.

The woman’s daughter, Dong-Mei Li, told the outlet that her mother is "very traumatized" and her eye was still bleeding later on Wednesday. She has also been unable to eat and is scared to leave her senior retirement home.

Xie, a 26-year resident of San Francisco, told KPIX 5 that the attack was completely unprovoked.

She and the man were both taken to a hospital for treatment after the incident. Xie had returned to her home by Wednesday night.

KPIX 5 sports director Dennis O’Donnell tweeted video from the scene after the woman was attacked. It shows her face swollen and bruised as she cries. The man appears on a stretcher with injuries to his face.

"You bum, why did you hit me?" Xie says in the video.

San Francisco police told KPIX 5 that they are investigating the incident. They said that an 83-year-old Asian man was also identified as the victim of an attack, and a 39-year-old man is being investigated for both incidents.
