Karlin Chan, a community activist in New York City and a spokesman for Mr Ma's family, said:"We're fighting for justice and I hope never walks the streets as a free man. He needs to pay for what he did."
A police detective said Powell admitted attacking an Asian man at the approximate time and location of the attack on Mr Ma, and said he did so because the man had robbed him the day before.The case drew national attention as part of a rise in anti-Asian hate crime in the US Mr Ma and his wife had moved to the US in 2018 from China, where he had worked as a dim sum chef. After arriving in the US he had found work at a Chinese restaurant, making pastries and performing other kitchen tasks.
When the pandemic forced the restaurant to close Mr Ma lost his job - and he had not worked long enough to qualify for unemployment benefits. Mr Ma and his wife, who also lost her job as a home health care attendant, had been collecting the recyclables to buy food.Prior to the pandemic, in December 2019 they lost their Chinatown apartment in a fire and had moved in with relatives.
May due process follow in the courts. Utterly horrendous murder.
What monster would do this to a defenceless man who’s trying to keep his head above water providing for his family. This is humanity at its worse.
Did they catch his attackers who are they? RIP! not everyone hates! im sorry the world is full of horrible creatures who can't accept other races as equal! I hope you family finds peace one day 🙏
People who did this still went home to their kids and gave them hugs like nothing happened. Hate is painful.
Surprised you are not addressing him as a black man
Stay away from NYC
Who is the attacker? has it been caught?
United state projected as a educated and civilised nation , its some citizens seem to be living in barbarism era .killing black and Asian innocent people , is not acceptable.
😢
Conveniently kept quiet. We all know how the media would have jumped all over this story of the attacker was of a different ethnicity. Double standards are disgusting. you’re no better
How can you hate a man because he looks different? Till you cause his death. Then what does one gain? The whole space of the world?
Shocking the poor man and his family🙏🏼
Funny how no one mentions that the attacker 49 year old Jarrod Powell is Black. If it had been a white man the Liberal Media would have already called the white guy a White Supremacist. So is Jarrod a BLM supremacist?
Shame to his attacker.
