"We don't need violence, we don't need racism, and we call on local law enforcement agencies to pay attention to Asian hate crimes and Asian racism, and severely punish hate crimes." Protesters forced the temporary closure of all Brooklyn-bound lanes on the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday, New York City officials said. Because when other people and other groups have been attacked and called out, Asian community leadership has always been with everybody. Skyy Zou, who is from Brooklyn, held a sign that read "Stop Asian Hate", painted by his daughter Betti Zou. A parolee convicted of killing his mother nearly two decades ago was charged with two counts of second-degree assault as a hate crime and one count of first-degree attempted assault as a hate crime.
