• Man gets 25 years for assaulting an Asian family and slashing 6-year-old with a knife.
• José Gómez accused them of being Chinese and spreading coronavirus.
• The attack occurred inside a Sam’s Club.

A 21-year-old Hispanic man was sentenced last week to serve a quarter of a century behind bars. José Gómez was found guilty of mercilessly attacking an Asian family inside a Sam’s Club store in the city of Midland, Texas.

The violent incident occurred on the afternoon of March 14, 2020, just as the entire world was paralyzed by the sudden arrival of Covid-19, which has killed millions of people in the United States and around the world. Well, it turns out that José Gómez went shopping and ran into an Asian couple with their three children.

José went crazy with a knife

Seeing the Asian family, José was filled with fury, because in his mind he believed that they were Chinese and he blamed them for the pandemic. Therefore, he decided they should pay with their lives for having caused so much damage to humanity. He immediately grabbed a huge kitchen knife, took it out of its package and went over to the unsuspecting family.

The heartless attack wounded the father as well has a six-year-old boy. The little boy was seriously wounded on the back of his head and he almost lost his right eye and part of his ear due to José’s vicious attack. Filed Under: Latin Asian Family Chronicle

«Get the hell out of America»

While he attacked them without justification, José yelled “Fuera de América,“ which translates as “Get out of this country,” in English. This made it that his attack was racially motivated which is considered a federal hate crime, which has more severe legal consequences.

A store employee who intervened in defense of the family was also injured by José. Despite this, several people managed to subdue him and hand him over to the authorities. After being questioned, the young man admitted that he had attacked the victims because he thought they were to blame for Covid-19. Thanks for reading my story today at MundoNOW. Until next time.
