The attack has drawn mixed reactions on Instagram.
“You don’t think that maybe she was targeted for the expensive bag she was carrying around and not because she’s Asian?” one user questioned.
Another commented, “This would happen if California doesn’t make laws that protect criminals and actually punishes them.”
