03/16/2021 —Atlanta, Georgia — Atlanta Police Officers and Detectives respond to a crime scene at Aromatherapy Spa and Gold Spa, both located in the 1900 block of Piedmont Road NE in Atlanta, Tuesday, March 16, 2021. A 21-year-old man from Woodstock, who was captured in South Georgia on Tuesday night, is the suspect in three metro Atlanta massage parlor shootings that left eight people dead, authorities said. Robert Aaron Long was first identified as the suspect in the shooting at Young’s Asian Massage Parlor in Cherokee County that left four people dead and one person injured, according to the sheriff’s office. He is also a suspect in two more shootings at similar businesses in northeast Atlanta that resulted in four more deaths, according to a sheriff’s office spokesman. Six of the eight victims were Asian women, authorities said. source
With that much of a neck beard someone should have taken his guns. No one with any brain grows a neck beard like that. That is just a huge red flag. All joking aside, the blame that the right is putting on asians for something that is human is going to spark the fuse on these human bombs. It is just disgusting that it is white guntards in general who want these wackydoodles having access to firearms while they are being stoked by people like tucker carlson to go get violent. The white wing guntards klnow when their crazy goes off it kills other people. They love that. It is not that this guy would not have attacked people if he had not been able to get a gun, like if he lived in the uk, but that a person like him running into a business and trying to kill all asians there would have a much harder time racking up that number of deaths doing what he did. I am thinking socierty was lucky he only killed as many as he did in his rampage before police caught him. If he had a machete, sword, axe, or other weapon he might not have escaped the first place, and we certainly would not have this many deaths from crazy. This is why we need to get guns off the streets. There is just no excuse for all of these deaths due to guns. This guy could not have done this if guns were either severely locked down, or simply not available due to banning. This sort of person would have resorted to a much less dangerous weapon in his crazy outburst had guns not been readily available.
More: ACWORTH, Ga. — The police said on Wednesday that the gunman who shot and killed eight people at massage parlors in the Atlanta area on Tuesday indicated that he had a “sexual addiction” and may have targeted spas that he had visited in the past. The police said the gunman claimed that he had not targeted the victims, six of whom were Asian, because of their race, but they cautioned that it was too early in the investigation to be sure that there wasn’t a racial motivation. “He does claim that it was not racially motivated,” Capt. Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said. “He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction.” Mr. Baker added that he saw the spas as “a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate.” The authorities said the gunman had told them he was driving to Florida when he was caught, and Mr. Baker said he may have been trying to commit similar violence at a business connected to the “porn industry” there. He was stopped after his parents alerted the police that they believed their son might be the suspect, and the police were able to track his phone. “He made indicators that he has some issues, potentially sexual addiction, and may have frequented some of these places in the past,” said Sheriff Frank Reynolds of Cherokee County.
I'm down with sex addicts not having guns. what am I missing? When I go to a massage parlor a big guy with hairy arms rubs my back.
Wife is big into asian culture and is currently researching "cheating" and what it means in different countries. It seems "cheating" is widespread in asia but it's not considered cheating. Going to soapland is just good clean fun. I don't know which side of the argument I'm on. I suspect it's whatever she decides.
Hmm, a white Southern man killing mostly members of a racial minority. Yeah that's definitely not racially motivated.
I mean... I just assume there are more Asian massage parlours than there are white or black massage parlours in Georgia. It could still be a racial thing, but at this point it sounds more like an incel thing.
sounds more like a gun thing. living at home with his parents. I know he's past the age of majority, but I'm guessing they foster an environment where a gun is the best tool for everything.
It seems I was wrong about his motives, but still not wrong about the neck beard thing. There is just something wrong with a guy who grows a neck beard like that.
A perusal of the back pages of an alternative newspaper in just about any town will show the number of advertisements for Asian massage parlors or parlors advertising that they have Asian girls on staff outnumber the rest by a significant margin. Even if it wasn't racially motivated there are a lot of Asian girls in that line of work.
Highly religious individual, and they teach it's sin. Leads to self-loathing and violence. American Christianity is broken in so, so many ways. There was also a study out recently that American Christianity is one of the few aspects of religious belief that causes rejection of science - in 60 other countries they tested, there was not the same association between religion and opposition to the science. I doubt we are the only country to have such an issue, but it is ridiculously strong here considering how integral technology is to our lives.
Sometimes it isn't, as others made a case for. But this time it is - one of the witnesses in an interview stated he said 'I'm going to kill all Asians.'
yep - sorry folks but most massage parlor "happy ending" places are run by and employ Asians here in Georgia. Massages involving sex are not legal, but nobody really gives a shit. Once again sex workers are the target of weirdo serial/mass killers.
The mods need to change the thread title to "No more yanky his wanky". I heard about this early this morning. I just figured then that he was a nut job. Some hard up dude that was looking to get a rub and tug, and hit up the ones where that wasn't an option, and lost his shit. Hearing more about it, I wasn't far off. Some kind of nut that was taking out his issues with porn on them. Yup, those places employ mainly Asian women, so it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
Big assumption there buddy. Do you know a lot of gun owning families? I know a shitload, and so far none of them have had a member go on a killing spree.
well his performance was suboptimal because two of the victims were white. Granted this was in the initial news reports - if they were all Asian please give me the details. That said IF there is credible proof that he said he wants to "kill all Asians" now you can add hate crime charges to the mix. This seems pretty damn premeditated, so I don't see him not getting life or the death sentence or whatever the max punishment will be.
this thought just hit me - he's 21 years old and ashamed (I guess) about being a sex addict. Hugh Hefner was a sex addict and things worked out great for him. When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade - you don't go ape shit and kill innocent people. He'll have plenty of time to reflect on his mistake now assuming he doesn't kill himself.
So one of the places he decided to shoot up, the Gold Spa, is one that I usually drive by once or twice a week. It's across the street from another massage parlor (St Jame Spa), and just down from that, also on the opposite side is the Platinum Gentleman's Club. One would figure the Platinum would better suit his purpose of curing his sex addiction. And it's also about half mile from Fat Matt's Rib Shack, it's ok, not great, been there a few times.
