Edit they've made an arrest https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bu...sian-man-attacked-robbed-san-francisco-police
This is disgusting. Where is the MSM right now? The worst part is all the people around the attackers egging them on. I hope these criminals. get prosecuted but knowing the Bay Area I doubt anything will happen.
A video that has been circulating online since Sunday night has angered the San Francisco community and many are demanding answers.
In the video, an elderly Chinese man is filmed being robbed of his cart of cans as the cameraman cheers on the alleged robber while making racially charged remarks.
AsiansNeverDie, who was one of the first social media accounts to post the video online, shared the following information on the incident:
“This is so heartbreaking and hard to watch
This sickening incident occurred on Osceola Lane in San Francisco, CA. This elderly Chinese man was robbed of his cart of cans and the camera man had the audacity to egg on the robber and make racist jokes. Also to see the children watching and learning this type of behavior from their neighbors.
EDIT
This has hit the normal news and the police appear to be involved.

A video posted on Twitter Sunday appears to show an elderly man collecting recyclables getting robbed and then assaulted in the Bayview.
Police said they became aware of the video Monday morning.
“We believe the incident took place in the Bayview Police District,” Officer Adam Lobsinger said in a statement. “The Bayview Station Investigations Team has initiated an investigation and is attempting to locate and identify the victim and/or witnesses.”

The video shows the older man stepping toward a trolley that carries several garbage bags full of recyclables. He is chased away by a man who pursues him while wielding a tool used to pick up waste.
Onlookers audible in the video can be heard mocking the victim. Several say the man who pursued him stole his possessions, and goad the victim into trying to retrieve them.
The victim again begins to approach the bags, prompting the suspect to break into a run and attempt to swing at him repeatedly with the trash-picker as onlookers shouted in the background. The video ends with the victim crying, and an onlooker — who previously assailed the man for appearing Asian — mocking him.
Posted on Twitter Sunday night, the clip had been retweeted 5,900 times and racked up around 350,000 views by the next afternoon.
