LAKE FOREST, Calif. (KCAL/KCBS) - A California man faces a hate crime charge after allegedly kidnapping an Asian woman, believing she was white, with the intent to sexually assault her. Detectives say he sought retaliation for anti-Asian hate crimes.

Michael Sangbong Rhee, 37, was arrested Thursday night at his home. He later posted a $100,000 bond and was released from jail.

Police say after the woman yelled to a nearby maintenance worker that Rhee had a gun, he fled the scene. A license plate reader captured his information as he drove away, according to police.

Detectives believe Rhee, who is Korean, targeted the woman because he thought she was white, and the crime was motivated by his desire to seek retaliation for the rise in hate crimes targeting the Asian community.


Hmmmmmmm......

Idiocy aside, his bond seems low for a crime like that. It’s scary he’s already out.

He probably had trouble finding a black person in Orange County

At least he is admitting to the hate crime.

Should make the criminal proceedings go faster.

Probably misspelled the name. It’s probably Tiger Ree.

Is it a hate crime because she is Asian? Or because he thought she was white?

I wasn't expecting California to charge him with a hate crime for white people.

Hate crime because the victim was Asian, or because he intended to harm a white person specifically?

Yeah, fricker, you wouldn't think it was funny if you could be blindfolded with dental floss either.

White people don't even commit the majority of crimes vs Asians.

At least the paper could have added a crucial adjective:

Police: Asian Man attacked Asian woman, believing she was white, over anti-Asian hate crimes

Yet another crime that is a direct result of media propaganda and misinformation. The left wing mainstream media is one of the biggest threats our country faces
