- j0hnk377y, on 03/29/2008, -1/+81Solution: Asian undercover cop with handbag loaded with explosives. When the handbag is stolen she hits the remote and takes out the theif. End of story, gene pool is cleaned up.
- tylerjames, on 03/29/2008, -2/+56oh how sweet it would be to be waiting around the corner and crack these guys in the face with a bat as they ran by
- joobojesse, on 03/29/2008, -10/+57how did this make the front page... seriously?
...was it the asian woman thing?
...was it because of the neat name 'rippers'?
I really don't get it.?? - FilthyGnome, on 03/29/2008, -3/+41Oh noes, someone is going to get the Triad after their asses!
- RudeTurnip, on 03/29/2008, -0/+36You mean like some sort of....secret asian man?
- souljaboytellem, on 03/29/2008, -4/+33Until Jackie Chan shows up
- MillionsLivio, on 03/29/2008, -0/+29"young Asian women", enough said.
- Typhoon2009, on 03/29/2008, -0/+21hmm... maybe those ricers had something going with lowering their cars down to a micrometer off the ground...
- inactive, on 03/29/2008, -0/+19That's why you should always wear combat boots when you go to the supermarket. That, and to stomp on the misplaced grapes in the produce aisle.
- inactive, on 03/29/2008, -1/+18Where are your grammar skills now?!
- octavius8, on 03/29/2008, -1/+17That's despicable. Its weird that they're targetting *young* Asian women.
Its like they got rejected or something. I guess stealing from a woman is a way of grabbing her attention, but don't knock her down. Sheesh. - tonicboy, on 03/29/2008, -1/+15yeah, we're much better off with articles you Digg such as "Man Proposes During NBA Halftime; Doesn't Go As Planned"
- purpmint008, on 03/29/2008, -2/+16their
- 2ndEdition, on 03/29/2008, -2/+16i feel ripped off after reading this article
- jjohnstn, on 03/29/2008, -0/+13False: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/robbery/slasher.asp
- mehan, on 03/29/2008, -19/+31asian women + parkinng lot = a ***** disaster
- timmay, on 03/29/2008, -1/+12Wow,I thought i was the only one that heard this!!! my mom told me when i was little. for like 5 years I was so scared of getting in the car I would make someone else open the door and I would jump in from like 2 feet away there for they couldn't slash my feet
- purpmint008, on 03/29/2008, -7/+18I remember someone telling me to always look under the car after coming back from a store because crooks hide underneath and when you go to put your ***** in the car, they use knives to cut the back of your foot and jack your money.
- npcabral, on 03/29/2008, -0/+10me..
- TH3W1R3D, on 03/29/2008, -0/+9I thought it was about DVD thieves :-p
- inspecality, on 03/29/2008, -0/+8The article actually said the suspects were 'young Latino males'.
- PopcornDave, on 03/29/2008, -0/+7No, actually it's not weird that young Asian women are being targeted. The Asian community, at least first and perhaps second generation, come from a society where they are very distrustful of the police and the government. What better group to target than one that is reluctant to go to the police?
- RobbieS, on 03/29/2008, -0/+7Something that is mentioned in the article, but doesn't seem to be picked up on here (maybe it is in the respond comments) is that these robberies are taking place in Asian business districts. To say they are targeting Asian women is like saying...if you robbed people in Mexico, you're targeting Mexicans. It's just that part of town is busy, and the shops are open relatively late.
- Cornrider, on 03/29/2008, -3/+10wise man say: behind each hot asian ripped off from bag in parking lot there is pissed off ninja husband slices throoooooath
- inactive, on 03/29/2008, -0/+6No, it would only be a hate crime if it was white kids on black , gay or emo.
- jayobear, on 03/29/2008, -0/+6Two things wrong with that comment.
1) Were you searching "Asian Women"?
2) Why the hell are you going to digg while drunk? - ComeOutSwingin, on 03/29/2008, -0/+6I work and go to school in San Jose. While I sympathize with these victims, I do not see how this warrants being on the front page. The only thing unusual is the term 'Rippers'.
And Asian women in San Jose? Never heard of such a thing (/sarcasm). - chkdg8, on 03/29/2008, -3/+9"What the hell did you just say"?
- ynggrsshppr, on 03/29/2008, -0/+6Anyone else think of Fallout when he said that? 1. Empty inventory 2. Leave activated TNT in inventory 3. Let the thieves pickpocket you. 4 Enjoy the fireworks.
- unicornography, on 03/29/2008, -0/+5Probably going after the purses not necessarily what's in them. Young asian women around here carry around some pretty expensive purses.
- inactive, on 03/29/2008, -0/+5chuck norris and macguyver, dumbass
- ramises, on 03/29/2008, -0/+5I thought it was about strippers attacking people...
- shiv68, on 03/29/2008, -5/+9
I target asian women all the time. - davidsetagaya, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Is your computer on?
- foofightrs777, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Certainly a difference in scale and I'm with you. but it's just something we're all gonna have to deal with since digg's power users are concentrated in CA.
- thailand1972, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Wow, thank goodness somebody applies context to the story! Talk about a misleading title / spin on the story. Might as well say humans are far far more likely to be victims of credit card fraud than duck-billed platypuses.
- Inverno, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3get out while you still can!
- DaviDTC, on 03/29/2008, -1/+4Same with the people who jack their vehicle up high enough to walk under it.
- aintIill, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3rumble in san jose! hell yes!!!
- Cornrider, on 03/29/2008, -5/+8***** THE R.I.A.A.!!!
- 335io07, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3This is clearly untrue. Asians and blacks got along great during the 70-90's until the Natasha incident occured at the Korean owned liquor store and during the riots here in L.A. (where a lot of Korean owned businesses were targeted by black and hispanic looters). A few years after these incidents, the blacks and asians started rebuilding the relationships they had. Currently the asians and blacks get along just fine. If you look at the way race is divided amongst the people in prison/county jail, blacks normally ally themselves with asians and latinos/hispanics stick with the whites. Also your point is irrelevant because the suspects are latinos. not blacks.
- mehan, on 03/29/2008, -1/+4.
- loeki, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3It's Macgyver. The man deserves to have his name spelled right.
- bdbr, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3So you think its just coincidence that these Latino men robbed young women in an Asian business district? They just happened to be passing through Asian business districts when they decided to rob someone, on 21 separate occasions? Get real.
More likely, they've figured out that Asian women pay in cash (rather than plastic) more than most women, and thus may have more money in their purses. Plus, they're often pretty passive in these sorts of situations. If they don't speak English well, they might even be hesitant to report the incident. Or maybe they just noticed the expensive purses that Asian women often like to carry. I've been married to one for 20 years and I've seen these characteristics many times - Lucy Liu isn't the typical Asian woman.
Its just very, very wrong to make people suffer just because they tend to be meek. - DaviDTC, on 03/29/2008, -2/+4You must be a young asian woman cause I dont get that feeling.
- smacksaw, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Useless without pictures.
- somespecial, on 03/29/2008, -1/+3I clicked on the video, and there was like 1,000 pop ups.
- sakuraz, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2I'm assuming it's their gucci bags
- Gyre23, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2A lot of asian countries are still cash societies. When my friend was teaching english in Japan she said the principal would hand her and the teachers a stack of bills for their weekly pay. On a business trip to China I had to take cash out of at an airport ATM to buy my plane ticket because the airline would not accept any credit cards, and the travel agent was unable to pay for the ticket, I had to pay cash at the counter. You end up seeing a lot of the 1st and 2nd generation asians in the bay area who just don't have bank accounts, or are just used to using cash for everything.
