Police in Sacramento are warning residents to be on the lookout after a rash of robberies targeting Asian women: Police: Robbers Targeting Asian Women. There have been five attacks since the end of July, all happening between 9:00pm and 11:00pm, when victims pull into their driveway and step out of their car.
According to authorities, two men, between the ages of 16 and 20 years old, are being sought in connection with the robberies.
Although all the victims have been Asian women, police say they're not considering the robberies a hate crime since the alleged robbers are only going after money and goods. So they're not haters... just thieves.
But there's got to be a reason why these guys are targeting Asians. Maybe they think it'll be easier, and the victims won't fight back, or they'll be less willing to report the crime. Whatever the case, the victims' race is informing their actions. Watch your back, ladies, and be careful out there.
