the kwok wai ho foundation

You may remember the story about Kwok Wai Ho, the 69-year-old man who was killed last July in a random attack when he was out for a walk. A guy with a group of teens came up behind Ho, put him in a headlock for no reason, then threw his head to the ground. His skull was crushed, and he died soon after. Police subsequently arrested a 17-year-old kid after several witnesses spoke up (and collected a reward): After a killing, finding that money talks. In the wake of this tragedy, Kwok Wai Ho's son, Tom Ho, recently established the Kwok Wai Ho Foundation. Administered by the Citizens Crime Commission, the initiative is meant to "reward those that assist in bringing forth information used to help capture, prosecute, and convict anyone who commits a violent crime against a member of the Asian community in Philadelphia." Here's the Foundation's contact info:

It's a positive step. People who perpetuate these kinds of crimes cannot be allowed to get away with them. At least something productive can now come out of the senseless, random act that took Kwok Wai Ho's life. (Thanks, Jason.)
