Subject: [PSA4] Vigil for beaten Asian woman in the Fruitvale  

On Thurs. Nov. 21 a little before 6 pm, an elderly small Asian woman
who was familiar to the neighborhood because she collected cans for
recycling, was attacked by three males who beat her brutally and then
stood over her and laughed. She is in the hospital in critical
condition with brain swelling and many bruises on her body.

The attack took place at 27th St. and Grande Vista.

Residents of the area outraged and sickened by the brutality and
viciousness of the attack have announced a 1 hour vigil at 5 pm today
(Nov 26) at the location of the attack. They ask that people bring a
candle and participate in this community statement that this type of
behavior will not be accepted or tolerated by the city.

This seems to me to be an appropriate way to start the Thanksgiving
Holiday. I intend to be there and to join with fellow citizens in
this endorsement of civilized behavior and support for the innocent
and entirely harmless victim of the unprovoked attack.
