The top Japanese diplomat in Oregon was shoved to the ground in Portland without any provocation by a homeless woman with a history of violence toward Asian people — and authorities are investigating that attack as a hate crime

Yoshioka Yuzo, the 62-year-old consul general for Portland’s Consular Office of Japan, was walking near Southwest Park Avenue and Oak Street on June 17 when he was “jumped” and pushed to the ground, according to newly released court documents.

The diplomat, who has been at his posting in Portland since March, suffered a cut to his head and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

“The poor guy just went down,” eyewitness R.D. Lipscomb told the station KGW8. “It looked pretty bad.

Should you look or shouldn't you look is the question...

[Tench_Coxe]

She did it because of white supremacy or institutional racism obviously.

[blackdog]

Too appropriate for major city policies on crime.

Portland is a shirt hole.

Portland, homeless, crazy...my money was on whitey. When will I learn?

Another proud member of America’s Royal Family strikes....

[Parley Baer]

The usual suspect.

Oh oh. A hate crime enhancement on a mentally ill homeless woman. That’ll teach her.

It apparently does not constitute a threat to the public since all the attacks are on white-adjacent Asians.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

It’s not a very good picture. It makes her look like she has a 5 o’clock shadow.

Half the people on FR will tell you - its impossible to do anything about homelessness, in particular, cleaning up America’s streets.

so don’t even try.....

[PGR88]

A quick check shows the Japanese have consulates in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Philadelphia and of course, Washington DC

I hope the Japanese Government is giving Yoshioka Yuzo and all their diplomats maximum danger-pay allowance.

Anti-Asian attack? Or just the results of allowing feral homeless to roam the streets and behave like the ferals that they are?

[LouAvul]

Our protected/entitled/spoiled/perpetually whining minority class has hated Asians ever since Covid hit the US.

[dfwgator]

It’s always Them, Boo Boo.

[dfwgator]

Beat me to it.

[gundog]

Oregon has a long history with the Chinese. I’m sure Chinese/ Japanese is all samey-same with that demographic, though.

Not even blankets laden with smallpox? How about a forced march across the country to a government-approved reservation? That was the solution when Andy Jackson was President.

Or maybe Hawaii, where that leper colony used to be.
