A woman in the San Francisco Bay Area has been arrested on suspicion of posting handwritten messages at several homes, targeting Asian Americans and suggesting that those not native to the U.S. should leave the country immediately.
Nancy Arechiga, 52, was carrying a backpack containing copies of the same notes, the statement said. She was arrested"for these inappropriate messages that instilled fear and intimidation upon those residents."
Arechiga was taken to Alameda County jail and booked for investigation of committing a hate crime. She was issued a citation and released from custody, another police official, Lt. Ted Henderson, said. Arechiga was told to appear in court, though the date hasn't been set because of the holiday weekend, he said.
Police were also investigating whether Arechiga was responsible for a similar note found Thursday on a local trail. The note partially read,"no Asians allowed, leave immediately."

Area Man So Sick Of Having To Explain Family Members’ Political Views To ThemCANTON, IL—Complaining that their ignorance of their very own beliefs has annoyed him for most of his life, local man Arthur Brody told reporters Wednesday that he was sick of having to explain his family members’ political views to them. “I just get tired of telling my so-called libertarian brother that if he likes the police department and the military and highways, then, guess what, he likes socialism too,” said Brody, 34, adding that he had grown weary of informing his self-described progressive in-laws that their refusal to embrace single-payer healthcare and their support for sending more troops to Afghanistan placed them squarely in the centrist camp. “Everybody else in the family just sits there listening to each other’s opinions, leaving it to me to speak up and let them know what they really stand for. I’m always the one to tell my mother that her views on immigration resemble fascism far, far more than any notion of center-right conservatism, but, of course, I never get a thank-you.” At press time, Brody was no longer in the position of having to explain his family member’s views as they refused to talk to him about politics entirely.
