You know it has gotten bad when people would rather live under a Communist dictatorship than in San Francisco. 87-year-old Rong Xin Liao, a Chinese immigrant residing in San Francisco, has decided to relocate to China after enduring multiple assaults in the city.
In 2021, Liao fell victim to a brutal assault that resulted in him being jump-kicked out of his walker. The severity of the attack necessitated surgery, with surgeons having to drill into his skull to address the injuries inflicted by 24-year-old Eric Ramos-Hernandez.
Ramos-Hernandez was released seven months later on mental health diversion. However, during his release, Ramos-Hernandez was arrested and convicted on misdemeanor trespassing charges in the South Bay.
Three years before, Liao was beaten unconscious in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. Despite the severity of the attack, law enforcement eventually gave up on the investigation.
In 2023, Liao found himself being punched repeatedly during an assault at a Walgreens. The cumulative impact of these traumatic incidents has prompted Liao to leave San Francisco and return to China.
“I don’t want to be a drag to my son here,” Liao said as he booked his one-way ticket to China. “I don’t want him to worry about me all the time.”
It remains unclear whether Ramos-Hernandez will plead to any charges or face prosecution.
Sad.
