World Journal – 襲擊華裔拾荒翁 警列仇恨犯罪
拾荒華裔老人在舊金山灣景區遭受非裔集體欺凌的事件，持續在社交媒體瘋傳，已成為國際事件，舊金山警方25 日已將事件列為仇恨犯罪案件處理，並呼籲民眾協助找尋受害的拾荒老人及欺凌者.
主持調查事務的副局長拉薩25 日說，原本拾荒華裔老人遭欺凌案件是由灣景分局調查組偵辦，但當警方人員審查有關的錄影帶後，可清楚聽到案中的嫌犯提到「我憎恨亞裔」的語句，已構成仇恨犯罪，警察總局主持仇恨犯罪調查工作的一組調查人員已接手處理。
拉薩並公布三張取材自社交媒體影片的拾荒老人照片，期盼認識受害者的人士與警方聯絡。拉薩說，警方希望與受害人接觸，以了解更多經過，對警方的調查工作十分重要，直至25 日傍晚，警方尚未聯絡上受害人。
影片顯示，拾荒華裔老人原來推著滿放汽水罐的購物車，但被一非裔男子搶走，華裔老人企圖取回購物車，被該名非裔男以長棍威脅追打，現場尚有一群非裔男女圍觀叫好，並辱罵華裔老人，影片更可見華裔老人驚慌哭叫。
市長布里德針對事件在推特發表簡短貼文寫道：「舊金山警局及街頭防罪小組已調查事件。」加州參議員威善高及加州眾議員邱信福先後發表聲明，指責事件涉及仇恨犯罪及歧視。
最先讉責事件的灣景區市議員華頌善宣布將於周四（27日）下午2時，在案發現場的Osceola Lane舉行社區團結集會，其他市議員將出席。
灣景區活躍人士柏利宣布，非裔社區對拾荒老人的遭遇感到憤怒，為了譴責事件，非裔社區將於本周日（30日）下午３時，在案發現場Osceola Lane舉行一場宣揚和平互助互愛精神的集會。
華人進步會與非裔團體「柯爾曼倡導會」發表聯合聲明，譴責事件，並促請市長布里德及市府為各族裔受害人提供更完善的服務。
