Case response

There was blood on the car at the scene

On May 18, 2010, the local Chinese community expressed the hope that the community would learn a lesson. The Chinese should not be silent, and the public order should not be maintained by the police alone. We should play the spirit of mutual help to make flushing a safe and prosperous community.

Li Tiecheng, President of Heilongjiang Association in New York, said that after the association contacted with the police, they went to the vicinity of the crime scene to read the surveillance video.

Fu Lin Minzhi, honorary president of the China US Chamber of Commerce, said it was chilling that after the young girl in blossom was attacked by a mob in the bustling city of flushing, there was no public helping her. Chen Mei, legal adviser to the New York Chinese Association, said that Chinese people need to strengthen their own safety awareness. When they encounter people with abnormal emotions such as drunkards and lunatics on the street, they must pay more attention to prevent similar cases from happening again.

McGuire, director of the 109 branch of New York City Bureau, also pointed out that people in the Chinese American community should start from their conscience and not connive at the arrogance of criminals for fear of identity leakage. McGuire once again reiterated that the police will not trace or inquire whether the identity of any people who call the police or safeguard their own rights and interests is legal.

Can't swallow. 'we can't get out of the house. Whenever we see the children around us, we think of our daughter,' Mr. Yu added.
