>Just a month ago an engineer at AWS, a young Asian woman, had her skull cracked open when a random assailant hit her in the head with a baseball bat completely unprovoked. This was in the same neighborhood by the way.

There needs to be a new Law of the Internet that describes this situation.

"When there's little outrage over a hate crime, the probability of the perpetrator being non-White approaches 1."

Something like Coulter's Law [0].

There's nothing in this article suggesting it was a hate crime. It appears to be someone with serious, untreated mental health issues.

Why did you assume this was a hate crime?

Because there are hundreds of these attacks since the coronavirus epidemic started against Asian-Americans, 99% of the time the assailant is non-white.

Yeah the real culprit is the media. This is the world they wish to come into existence.
