Ben says if Thompson was beind bars & not on mental health diversion in 2020 โ€” the double stabbing of 2 Asian seniors on Market this week would not have happened.

Mr. Thompson refused to show up at his arraignment today.

So I asked Chesa at court...

โ€ฆthe DA why he blamed the judge for Mr. Thompsonโ€™s mental health diversion when as district attorney he could have objected to it. โ€จโ€จHe side-stepped my question & gave a definition of what mental health diversion is. (3/5)

Thompsonโ€™s public defender says this is not a hate crime.

Protestors like Asian With Attitudes & @UnitedPeaceColl chanted their displeasure outside the courthouse & are fed up with offenders being released to commit more crimes.

Thompsonโ€™s next court date is Monday.

Ben says the 2017 incident changed his life. He realized he wanted to help others & is not a crossing guard to keep kids safe.

The 85-year old victim Mrs. Fong is still recovering in the hospital. https://bit.ly/3tv1Quk
