This is not an attack, but I wanted to share this lack of care to Asian victims.

5 thieves went in through the roofs of 7 shops and stole from the Vietnamese owners at 4:30 am. Luckily no one was physically hurt. It was 2 hours to rob, 7 stores. The footage shows the robbers taking their time. The Chief of police says they didn’t get a call until later. Victims say otherwise and say it took 3 hours from them to show up. This is not the first time for these shop owners to robbed.

Cops said Chen, 19, was riding in an elevator with his three friends in the parking garage of a BJ’s Wholesale Club off Shore Parkway in Bensonhurst Thursday night when a teen gunman got on and announced the stickup.

“He was like: ‘give me all that sh—’ and he pulled out his gun,” said one of Chen’s friends who was in the elevator with him.

The friend, 15, said they handed over their stuff, which included a fanny pack and two backpacks, one of which belonged to Chen.

When the elevator doors opened again, Chen lunged at the gunman.

“It was the first floor,” said the friend, who did not want to be named. “There were lots of people there. He didn’t think he was going to shoot him.

“But he goes for his bag, and the guy shot him.”
