TL;DR Summary

The sentencing of a man who stabbed a 94-year-old Asian woman in San Francisco has sparked protests and clashes between activists and counterprotesters. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins and many in the Asian American community are outraged by the judge's decision to give the attacker five years' probation and mandatory treatment programs instead of the requested 12 years in prison. The chaotic scene prompted sheriff deputies to separate the angry crowds, with accusations of politicizing criminal justice issues and calls for stronger consequences for violence against Asian elders. The hearing has been postponed to April for further discussion on the attacker's sentencing.
