新冠肺炎(COVID-19)疫情造成全球人心惶惶,似乎也掀起排华情绪美国德州14日发生一起攻击事件,当时缅甸男子Bawi Cung Nung与儿子罗伯特(Robert)正在逛超市,怎料突遭一名19岁男子持刀伤害,父子俩的脸部都受到伤害。

综合外媒报导,19岁的戈麦斯(Jose Gomez)为西班牙裔,他已被拘留。回到14日晚间7时许,当时Bawi Cung Nung与家人来到德州米德兰(Midland)的一家超市购物结果他与儿子竟无端遭到戈麦斯攻击,父子脸部都被刺中,尤其孩子伤势严重,社群媒体上的相片还可见到缝线蔓延到眼睛

过程中,另一名超市员工试图压制戈麦斯,不幸也受伤。米德兰市长佩顿(Patrick Payton)说明,联邦调查局(FBI)正协助厘清案情

由于受害的为亚裔家庭,许多网友认为这是一起有关种族主义仇恨犯罪,不过当局尚未证实嫌犯动机。戈麦斯则被指控3项谋杀未遂罪与1项使用致命武器来攻击的罪名

On March 14, 2020, at 7:28 in Midland, Texas. Bawi Cung Nung and his son Robert were attacked with knife by Jose Gomez. Both the father and son were stabbed in the face. Robert was stabbed severely. The Hispanic attacker, Jose Gomez is only 19 years old. He has been taken into custody. During this encounter, an employee of Sam’s Club was also injured while trying to take down the attacker. Why did he stab them? Although we cannot get an answer right now due to the condition of the victims. Since the COVID-19 originated from China, many believe this is an act of racism. However, some believe that this was an act of fighting for product they need. If there’s any updates on the case, we’ll keep you guys posted. (Update: it was confirm that the attack was racially motivated) Admins Note: This is really getting out of hands now. I’m not even worry about the virus itself anymore, I’m more scared and concerned for the hate and racism toward Asians. I can’t stop thinking about our parents who have to go to work or go grocery shopping, and how they could potentially get verbally or physically attack. The fact that other minorities are the one doing is mind-boggling. I don’t feel safe anymore, and I’m sure many of you feel the same way. The ignorance and stupidity is just mind blowing. Time to start carrying weapons now for self-defense. If you see micro-aggression or any blatant racism toward chin people or Asians in general, you better intervene. Call them out of their racism, hatred, stupidity, and ignorance.
