Anti-Asian racism in Georgia

Geez, will the insanity in this country never stop? Some (White) guy, described as a "devout Christian" grabs his guns (but oh no, let's not blame the guns!) and rides around to three different "spas" shooting Asian women and one man, killing 8 people, but claiming that race had nothing to do with it. He had a sex addiction and was "trying to cure it?"

Admittedly, these "spas" may have been less than exalted establishments, but the news article says they were all operating under perfectly legal regulations. And even if they weren't, that's supposed to be a way to fix them, or get rid of his own addiction? Pretty thin excuse for what is obviously racism.

Following this latest horror story, many Asians have come forward talking about the amount of hatred that has been directed at them, especially in the last year. They have done nothing wrong, most of them are model citizens, yet the poison of hatred has managed to infect people's minds against them. They are denied service in restaurants, are told to "go back" to where they came from (even if they were born here), one woman reported having a bottle thrown at her as she was putting her baby in a car seat. And now, apparently some people think it's all right to kill them.
 

Perhaps going to the source of his addiction he might eliminate the urge? He didn't eliminate the urge; he killed innocent people as retaliation to his lack of ability to manage himself. You know the devil made him do it? Amazing are the excuses of the condemn.
 
This type of thing is tragic and the people that commit these crimes should be punished to the full extent of the law.

IMO it is just as tragic when we attack other races, religions etc... in an attempt to understand what motivates these individuals to commit their crimes.

Someday maybe a madman will be just a madman and race or religion won’t enter into it.
 
Yes. Disgusting. Terrible. Horrible. Yet, something crossed my mind and I'm wondering. Was it really racially motivated as in the attacks in San Francisco and other cities? I suggest that perhaps this lunatic was trying to fight his deranged sexual proclivities by attacking the establishments that provided the services he craved. He sought relief from his guilt in blaming them. Unfortunately they are most often staffed and/or managed/owned by Asian women.
 
Well, that is what he himself is saying (that this had nothing to do with race). But his timing is pretty lousy, if that's true. Right now, Asian Americans are apparently going through a really hard time, with lots of prejudice against them. This kind of brutal attack fits right in.

Still, does it really matter? 8 innocent people are now dead because of a madman. Would their families feel any different about it if they knew that racism had nothing to do with it? I doubt it.
 
It seems to me that it's another case of a guy who couldn't get a girlfriend, plus he felt religious guilt for his sexual urges. Add to that, the ease in which he was able to purchase a handgun, which he did just hours before embarking on his shooting rampage. Plus his parents kicked him out of their house the day before. His world was falling apart.

Yes, it's amazing how the presence of a gun can make anyone become a mass murderer.
Because I'm a gun owner, I have to fight my bloodthirsty urges constantly; it's only my extreme self control & astonishing willpower that stops me. That's what guns do to people.

:ROFLMAO:
 
Before we pin this killing to anti Asians, let get the story right. The sex maniac didn't get the usual happy ending from the masseuse who happens to be an Asian. After all, Asians are the ones who corner the massage parlors.

Didn't you hear that guns do not kill people? 🙃
 
One of the news reports this evening said there have been over 3,000 incidents, nationwide, where Asians have been targeted, in the past year. I guess the lunatics are blaming all Asians for this virus....as if Any of them have had anything to do with the origin or spread of this illness. Their "anger" would be far better shown to those who insist on ignoring the guidelines for helping stop the spread of this disease. But then, if they walked into a crowded bar, and began to shove someone, they would probably quickly get the justice they deserved.

What is also disgusting is that the Sheriff's information officer allegedly posted an anti-Asian t-shirt on Facebook. Now he has been placed on desk duty. The press is trying to find out if Facebook or the officer is responsible for scrubbing the account. This same officer state that the murderer was having a "bad day." Good grief, just about everybody experience "bad days" without murdering anyone.

"He was pretty much fed up and had been kind of at the end of his rope," Baker said in a news conference on Wednesday. "Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did."

While the world used COVID-19, one of those lunatics insisted that it was "Kung Flu" and "Chinese Flu." That helped fuel the anti-Asian backlash.

"the ease in which he was able to purchase a handgun, which he did just hours before embarking on his shooting rampage."

I must have missed reading that he easily purchased a hand gun.

Went back to read again, still didn't see it. Is that from a different link then the one I posted?

Everywhere I know of has a waiting period and a background check before purchasing a hand gun.

I own guns and in my near 70 years have yet to kill anyone, and my guns must be well trained as they have never left their appointed spots to kill anyone.

Now we are talking gun control Let's be logical here. Let's face it, guns are readily available in the US so they can be used to defend their properties. Guns are more likely used to resolve domestic problems. People carry them in their cars so they can be use to resolve traffic disputes too. Obviously, the dead guy can't tell his side of the story. Finally, I am not against your rights to own guns. But, look at facts.

A law enforcement source said the suspect was recently kicked out of the house by his family due to his sexual addiction, which, the source said, included frequently spending hours on end watching pornography online. Drugs and porn, the curse of the western world.

How dreadful. *SMH*:mad:😢
No guns don't kill people, I wonder how many he would have killed with a fork.🙄

I doubt the man who was hell bent on killing thought a fork would do much damage.

Anyone with intent to kill uses a weapon that will do just that. His intent was to kill, not eat his victims. 🙄
