Asian American communities on edge after deadly shootings

CNN (Fake news)

Asian American communities are on edge after Tuesday's deadly shootings at three Atlanta-area spas. Six of the eight people killed were Asian women.

While the suspect faces multiple counts of murder and a charge of aggravated assault, there's a fierce debate underway over whether he should also face hate crime charges.

President Biden and Vice President Harris are heading to Georgia today to meet with Asian American leaders.


CNN: Some officials call for hate crime charges in the Atlanta-area spa shootings

quote:

"It looked like a hate crime to me," Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said on "Anderson Cooper 360" on Thursday. "This was targeted at Asian spas. Six of the women who were killed were Asian so it's difficult to see it as anything but that."


quote:

The suspect, arrested Tuesday night in a traffic stop 150 miles south of Atlanta, told police he believed he had a sex addiction and that he saw the spas as "a temptation ... that he wanted to eliminate," Cherokee County sheriff's Capt. Jay Baker said.

But Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant has said it is still too early to know a motive


quote:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said the attacks don't appear to be racially motivated, advocacy groups have argued that it is too soon to make that determination


quote:

Anti-Asian hate crimes have more than doubled during the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.

The violence has surged amid racist rhetoric during the pandemic -- some popularized by former President Donald Trump.


quote:

When Biden and Harris visit Atlanta on Friday, community leaders will urge the shootings be considered a hate crime against Asians and not dismissed as the suspect having a "bad day," Nguyen said.

Biden ordered flags at the White House and other federal grounds to be flown at half-staff Thursday to honor the shooting victims.

The evidence doesn't point to a racial motive. But the media and "advocacy groups" are pushing VERY HARD for hate crime charges here.

Asians are white adjacent and thus are not on the hierarchy of victimhood. CNN is slipping on their wokeness

I wonder how many spas in atlanta are asian spas.
How many are not asian spas.

Her argument is like claiming school shootings as hate crimes against white people because 75% of the victims are white.

These fricks just can't help themselves. All CNN does is cover Trump and what's olgoing on at Fox News. They're nothing without those two topics.

Since 25% of the people he killed were white, should I be 25% on the edge?

Considering that the vast majority of attacks on East Asians are by non-whites...

Their prime time ratings have dropped almost 50% since January. Trump was the only thing that kept them on life support for the past 5 years
