Korean Grandma Allegedly Assaulted by Woman Screaming 'White Power' in L.A.
2017/2/2

UPDATE [2-2-17 4:50 p.m. PST]: The attacker has been identified as 27-year-old
Los Angeles resident Patty Garcia who, on Feb. 1 at 2:40 p.m., assaulted the
83-year-old victim (whose name was not released) at the corner of 3rd and
Western in downtown L.A. Garcia is now being held on $50,000 bail for felony
battery (Booking# 4897282) according to Officer Drake Madison of the LAPD
Media Relations.

Officer Madison also made it clear that the case is currently not being
investigated as a hate crime and any details surrounding the attacker yelling
"white power" after hitting the victim are not included in the current official
report and may still be subject to the ongoing investigation into the incident.

The Asian community is up in arms after one woman posted a photo of an elderly
Korean woman on the street next to a splatter of blood who was allegedly, for
no apparent reason, hit in the head by a Caucasian woman who screamed "white
power" and attempted to run off.

In a lengthy post on Facebook (that has since been removed), a user identified
as Linda Lee criticized the U.S. President (without using the name Trump)  for
encouraging a culture of “hatred and negativity” in the country. The post was
a response to the violent incident she witnessed on the streets of Los Angeles
on February 1.

Together with the photo attached to the post, Lee narrated what happened and
expressed her opinion on the matter.

Lee reported that an old Korean lady was hit in the face by a Caucasian female
who shouted "white power!" as she ran off. Her companion, identified as Chong
Lee, followed the assailant, called the police, and waited until the attacker
was arrested by LAPD officers of the Olympic division.

"She walked by the korean grandma, yelled, 'White power!' and ran off. Thank
goodness Chong followed the female for 6 blocks while calling the police and
stayed with her until he saw her get arrested.”

In the same post, Lee revealed her fears about the safety of her very own
grandmother who has been legally living in America with a U.S. passport for
more than 30 years.

"She's very independent and insists that she continues to live in their
apartment by herself because she doesn’t want to burden any of us to take care
of her. It scares me that this situation can easily happen to my grandma while
she's waiting for the bus or walking to/from the bus stop to her home or work,"
Lee said.

Tension around scenarios like this have only become more prevalent after Donald
Trump won the presidential election. Every speech about deportation and
division only creates a sense of entitlement for groups of angry and fearful
people ready to take down those they deem "un-American."

Trump's recent declaration of a visa ban for seven predominantly Islamic
countries along with other changes in U.S. immigration policies have further
fueled the uproar ignited last year.

"It angers me that people think that he allows them to feel powerful and bully
others who are 'different' from themselves," Lee emphasized. "Please don't
spread the hate and ignorance displayed by someone who truly doesn't deserve
the power he has come into."

The elderly woman sustained a one-inch cut on her forehead but will survive.
The original poster, Linda Lee, hit back at critics of the story who called it
"fake news" saying:

"For those of you who think this is fake news, it's absolutely real. Just
because you can't find any official news reports of it doesn't mean it didn't
happen. I have absolutely no reason to create a fake story. I posted this to
voice my opinion about how our country is going through really difficult times.”
