Indiana Woman Charged with Federal Hate Crime for Stabbing Asian Student on Bus

A 56-year-old woman, Billie Davis, has been charged with a federal hate crime for stabbing an 18-year-old Indiana University student in the head for "being Chinese" on a city bus in Bloomington. Davis allegedly told police that she targeted the victim for her race, saying that she "would be one less person to blow up our country." The victim sustained seven knife wounds to the top of her head but survived. Davis' attorney claims that his client is mentally ill and has no history of harboring racist opinions.
