An elderly Thai man was knocked down and killed by a teenager in San Francisco. In an unprovoked attack, Antoine Watson, 19, charged at Vichar Ratanapakdee, 84, on Thursday during the seniors morning walk. Video footage shows the teen running at Ratanapakdee and pushing him over, knocking him to the ground. Ratanpakdees head appears to hit the garage door behind him as he falls. As Ratanapakdees hat flies off due to the Watsons sheer force, the cowardly assailant runs away. Watson was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. His assailant Maylasia Goo, 20, was also arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to the attack. Ratanapakde was rushed to hospital but died two days later.

His family believe the attack was a racist hate crime. Eric Lawson, Ratanapakdes nephew, wrote in a crowdfund appeal for his uncles funeral that it was a COVID-19 fueled anti-Asian racism. Our family has endured multiple verbal Anti-Asian attacks since the beginning of the pandemic, this time it was fatal, he wrote. Racism has once again proven deadly. Anti-Asian racism has become a very serious danger to all Asian Americans, particularly in San Francisco. Its time the authorities took serious action to combat it.

Uhhh no? That murderer shouldn't have been so bloodthirsty. This isn't some "oh they wrongfully execute people" situation, the case is pretty clear cut lol. That kid deserves death, and it shouldn't have taken the life of an 84 yr old man to prove it.

I think his point might have been how cases like this whip people up into a weird sort of revenge porn frenzy, and tbh I agree with that. It's a disgusting crime but sometimes I think people want to witness a hanging like it's 1604 or something

The kid is clearly a scumbag but he's also probably stupid enough to not realize that he would kill him or even seriously hurt him. I don't know if bloodthirsty is the right word.

A lot of idiots out there don't know how fragile people can be if struck in just the right way.

I'm going to guess that kid is not ok in the head, either.

I have a friend who is the social worker who deals with criminal juveniles like this. Hearing her stories has opened my eyes quite a lot.

I mean, consider how fucked up you have to be to do something like this. Imagine what kind of life experiences you've probably had.

Lol I mean 19 years is a long time. How long does a person need til we can just... let him get away with ending a person's life? I'm fairly sure this isn't the first time he's committed halfway assault. Frankly, I can tell you're naive, but not everybody can be a valuable member of society, and tax dollars shouldn't go into housing blatant criminals.

Seriously, wtf are you guys on if you think a 19 years old can't tell if he fucking tackles an 84 yr old man, that man will fucking die?

Also hilariously, I've seen plenty of people here consider anybody over the age of 18 an adult and that crime committed by them and the punishment accordingly are fair game. People don't have to reach absolute peak maturity to not be let off so easily.

Not a single person here thinks it was accidental or that the crime is not that bad or whatever

We're just not ready to execute someone at the drop of a hat. Shrug.

He hit his head when he fell. He could have been any age and died.

Plenty of idiots think that people can survive punches and falls because they watch violent media and even got into a lot of scraps growing up.

Maybe he intentionally meant to kill him. Neither of us really know. But tbh I think he probably didn't.

Doesn't mean he isn't a scumbag though or that he doesn't deserve to go to prison.

Yeah, but idiocy or even crime of passion isn't an excuse for murder. They're 19, they're adults, and they really should've known better. Even like Jr. High kids will know not to tackle an elderly. There's a limit to how much idiocy you can claim. This was just a violent assault, nothing else

You call it a shit take but his point is literally the principle that justice systems in every civilised society start with. Retribution is not a method of punishment of a just system. I know you think this is CE being a bunch of libruls but not really

From my understanding of the expression "drop of a hat" means to act immediately with little provocation. I consider killing a human being to be more serious than slight provocation. If that is not what you meant then I apologize for misunderstanding.

I was replying to legendarylemur and others who wish to execute the murderer here. I basically just think we should do the whole fair trial and usual justice approach and not circumvent that because people are upset.

What is it republicans like to say? Facts don't care about your feelings, I think.

I never said he shouldn't have known better. Of course he should. I'm saying that saying he should be executed is a pretty extreme response.

Again this shouldn't be limited to the elderly. Anyone can die from a tackle like that. People need to realize that behavior like this is universally deadly.

Rolling my eyes out of my damn head here. I've literally never once said that the criminal is the victim. I just think it's likely that people don't go and assault pensioners because there was just something iffy in their cereal that day or they were just born from satan's arsehole. Like, maybe we can discern something interesting about the life they've had that lead them to this point? And then use that information to help prevent these things from happening...

No, nevermind. Let's just kill murderers and disengage brain. That kind of boundless anger will really show them I'm not a bleeding heart...
