Indiana University student stabbed repeatedly in the head "due to [her] being Chinese"

essentialsaltes · Jan 16, 2023

A 56-year-old woman stabbed an 18-year-old Indiana University student while riding a public bus in Bloomington and told a detective she did it because the victim was “Chinese,” according to court documents obtained by The Washington Post.

Billie Ranard Davis of Bloomington approached the Carmel, Ind., woman on Wednesday as she was waiting to exit the bus and began stabbing her repeatedly in the head, according to a probable-cause affidavit. Security camera footage showed that Davis and the woman had not interacted before the attack, the affidavit said. The footage showed Davis stabbing or attempting to stab her about seven times before returning to her seat on the bus. A witness later followed Davis on foot until police were able to arrest her sometime after 4:45 p.m.

According to the affidavit, Davis mentioned targeting the woman “due to [her] being Chinese” and “made statements that race was a factor in why she stabbed her.” Davis also told the detective that she attacked her because it would be “one less person to blow up our country.”

There are many racists in this "post racial" America. Be aware brothers and sisters.

Tho she seems more deranged than racist
as such. Hope so anyway.

In the USA, racism was as open and acceptible
as smoking in restaurants, and neither is coming back.

I hope?

You live abroad, and so, you do not know about American racism. I forgive your ignorance on the subject.

Seems a bit excessive.

So charming that you forgive me.

You are ignorant of the years I Iived in the
USA. And you dont know of the savage
racist assault I was very fortunate to
have survived.

By your reply I am happy you survived your attack. I can understand your change of location. Yes I was ignorant of your experience. But as you can see by the OP that racist attacks still happen and are still brutal. They are not gone.

Like I said racism is gone.
Think before you post.

I did not say racism is gone.

That would be. "Like I said, racism is gone"

Nowhere have I remotely suggested it is gone.

And, actuality, I did think, I chose to
Forgive YOUR ignorance, and to put it in
milder terms than to point out that you
deliberately chose to hop in uninvited
and make false statements
about me with no clue what you
are talking about.

Christians who actually believe in
" love" and not bearing false witness
ought, as suggested, to think before
they utter.
Stop before you dig deeper is also good advice.

That was absolutely insane. The lady who did it looks mean. I am glad a witness followed her and called the cops.

I think the "insane" is the point, not racism.

If someone needs just “one more thing to go wrong” and in this case that “wrong thing” was an Asian woman existing, that’d be racism.

Yeah...I was doing wishful thinking.

I have been married to an Asian for 26 years and never once had a problem. My son went all the way through high school, and college and had a fair number of jobs and he never once had a problem. Although he does not look Asian, he looks either Black or Mexican. At least that is what people say. Could be a problem in liberal states but not the conservative ones. There seem to be hot spots people go to if they want to express racism. We hold doors for people here. We let them into traffic. We show them proper consideration.

Has your spouse had any problems along these lines?

None. Once I thought someone had said something and when I asked them about it they were very apologetic and said they did not want to say anything to offend anyone. My mom was president of an organization called hosting international students. We use to do a lot for the students at the university here.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions about posters. It's a bad practice.
