LADERA RANCH, Calif. (KABC) Crimes against Asian Americans have seen a sharp rise since the beginning of the pandemic. Neighbors are rallying behind one Orange County family, who have been targeted for months.
Surveillance camera video shows vandals ringing the doorbell at the Ladera Ranch home of Haijun Si and his family in the middle of the night. Sometimes, the culprits pound on the door, throw rocks and shout out racial slurs. The family has been harassed for months. This harassment started almost immediately upon them moving here and the fact that it s so clearly tied to their race is deeply upsetting, said Olivia Fu, a Ladera Ranch resident.
