Yuzo Yoshioka was walking in the area of Southwest Park Avenue and Southwest Oak Street on June 17 when he was allegedly “jumped” and “shoved” to the ground, records show.

“bias crime” is racially motivated assault?

I was trying to figure it out and I ran across:

According to court docs, [the alleged attacker] kicked over the baby stroller, later telling police, “I meant to do it.”

Holy shit.

After so many incidents, I don’t know why she’s allowed out of jail.

this is why no matter how many casinos, prostitutes and national parks you guys have I’m never stepping foot in America

But seriously, isn’t a diplomat being a victim of a hate crime like a really big deal? Like, ‘incident’-worthy?

Yeah, you’d think there would be a protest over this. But for some reason no one cares this time.

Wtf is “bias crime”, sounds like something made up by a lawyer for a racist who committed a hate crime.

Looked it up, it’s just what hate crimes are legally referred to in Oregon apparently.

Which means yeah, probably at some point some lawyer defending some racist argued the actual term for it was politically incorrect and somehow people agreed with him
