A 59-year-old San Francisco man is not expected to survive injuries suffered Friday afternoon when he was punched in the face by a man who had been part of an earlier assault on the victim's son, police said. Authorities said the victim, Tiansheng Yu, was on life support at a hospital Saturday.
Yu was critically injured about 3:04 p.m. in the 1800 block of Telegraph Avenue just a few feet from the entrance to the Fox Theater. Police said that moments earlier, Yu and his 27-year-old son, whose name was not released, had parked their car in the 1700 block of Broadway, planning to visit a coin store.
Sgt. Mike Gantt said Saturday that as the son was walking to the store, two men confronted him — one of them punching him in the face without warning. Sgt. Gus Galindo said the attacker "did not say a word or make any threats. He just cold-cocked him."
The two men took off, and the son, his face badly bruised and swollen, told his father what had happened. Police said Yu and his son began looking for the men and found them at 18th Street and Telegraph. They confronted the suspects, and one of them punched Yu in the face, causing him to fall and strike his head on the pavement, rendering him unconscious and unresponsive, police said.

That picture makes me sad. I can tell you the story without any further information: Asian immigrants come to the US with fifty dollars to their name. They work hard, obey the law, scrimp and save, pay taxes, build a small business, and put their son through college where he gets a degree in engineering, business, or some other useful field of study. Now the old man can cut back a little and enjoy the comfortable life they earned by the sweat of their brows. Maybe bring the boy into the family business, or sell it and retire. But walking past the wrong gang of thugs one day— thugs handed American citizenship and all its opportunities as their birthright— the thugs lash out for no reason other than sheer hatefulness, and the family’s American dream is over.
Even Chris Rock made the distinction between black people and the N-word.
Google “race wars of 1919” if you want to see what can happen. We are being set up for another round in the never ending war against this once free Nation. Martial Law is the intended purpose for all this nonsense.
I agree.
All good tips.
The problem is that most normal people do not expect this kind of attack. As your post says, we should train for this type of incident.
A hand-held taser while walking through these neighborhoods might be a good idea.
