维查·拉达纳巴迪(泰语: วิชา รัตนภักดี, RTGS: Wicha Rattanaphakdi,英语︰Vicha Ratanapakdee,1936年 - 2021年1月28日)是一名84岁的泰裔美国人,他在加利福尼亚州旧金山被袭击推倒在地后死亡。[1]
袭击
[编辑]1月28日早上,84岁的泰裔老翁维查·拉达纳巴迪在旧金山的Anza Vista街区散步时,遭到19岁的非裔男子安托万·沃森的暴力袭击。当时嫌犯开车经过,随后下车冲向翁维查把他猛烈地推倒在地。翁维查头部撞向人行道受重伤,嫌犯驾车逃逸,老翁送达医院后两天死亡。袭击经过全程都被街对面的闭路电视拍下。[2][3][4]
嫌疑人
[编辑]袭击发生的两天后,来自加利福尼亚州戴利市的19岁非裔美国人安托万·沃森被捕,被控以致命武器袭击他人、虐待老人和谋杀罪。[5][6][7]沃森否认控罪。[8]另一名20岁女子Malaysia Goo因涉嫌协助隐瞒案情也被捕。[9][10]
反应
[编辑]维查的家人表示相信袭击事件是出于种族主义动机,是在针对亚裔美国人的仇恨持续升温下的其中一件悲剧。[11]一些评论员提指出这个案例及其他几个相似的事件,显示了非洲裔美国人和亚裔美国人之间的紧张关系。[12][13]泰国外交部向在事后所有居住在美国的泰国侨民发出警告,警惕出于种族动机的仇恨犯罪。[14]
旧金山地区检察官博彻思指这一罪行令人发指,但他认为这次袭击并非出于种族动机,并称被告只是在“发脾气”。[15]维查的家人对其言论表示愤慨,这些评论令人沮丧且贬低了犯罪的严重性。[16][17][18]博彻思后来回应指,他说的“发脾气”是犯罪者在袭击老翁前的行为。[19][17]据维查的家人透露,博彻思曾计划参加维查的守夜活动,但在维查的家人告诉他,他们并不会与他合照或录像后,他并没有出席守夜。[20]
