EXPOSE THIS DEMOCRAT LESBIAN JUDGE: San Francisco Judge Linda Colfax SUSPENDED the remaining prison sentence of a man who violently shoved an 84-YEAR-OLD GRANDFATHER to the ground, killing him, because she said more time behind bars would have a “POOR IMPACT” on the convicted attacker!! Antoine Watson was just 19 when he attacked Vicha Ratanapakdee during the elderly man's morning walk through San Francisco's Anza Vista neighborhood on January 28, 2021. Surveillance video captured Watson running toward the unsuspecting grandfather and forcefully shoving him to the pavement. Ratanapakdee struck his head and never regained consciousness. He d*ed two days later. The horrifying footage spread across the country and became one of the most widely recognized cases associated with the Stop Asian Hate movement. But five years later, the case ended with a sentencing decision that left Ratanapakdee's family devastated. In January 2026, a jury found Watson guilty of involuntary manslaughter and assault but acquitted him of murder. On March 26, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Linda Colfax sentenced Watson to eight years, credited him with approximately five years already served in county jail, and SUSPENDED THE REMAINING TIME. Instead of requiring Watson to serve the rest of his sentence in state prison, Colfax ordered his immediate release on probation. The judge explained that additional incarceration would likely have a "poor impact" on Watson, citing his expressions of remorse and her assessment of the jury's findings. Watson must attend weekly therapy, comply with stay-away orders, and regularly report to the court. But Ratanapakdee's family had wanted him to serve the maximum sentence behind bars. His daughter, Monthanus Ratanapakdee, called the outcome "deeply disappointing" and warned that it sends the wrong message about protecting vulnerable elderly residents. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins also criticized the ruling after prosecutors sought a state prison sentence. Vicha Ratanapakdee was 84 years old, walking through his own neighborhood, when a stranger ran toward him and knocked him to the ground with enough force to cause a fatal injury. The man responsible has now been released after serving approximately five years in custody. This is UNREAL. Justice has NOT been served.
