Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms took issue with the way authorities described the possible motive of the suspect in the Tuesday evening killings of eight people at three spa locations.The mayor countered the depiction used by Capt. Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department shortly after he pointed to suspect Robert Aaron Long’s assertion that “sexual addiction” rather than racism toward Asian Americans was behind his shooting rampage....“That the Asian women murdered yesterday were working highly vulnerable and low-wage jobs during an ongoing pandemic speaks directly to the compounding impacts of misogyny, structural violence and white supremacy,”
To our Asian neighbors, family, and friends. I know that the world seems more scary today. More cruel. Know that we love you.We mourn those killed last night in Atlanta with you. We will dismantle white supremacy alongside you.
8 lives were violently stolen. We stand in solidarity & deep compassion w/ our AAPI family in Georgia & across the country. Racism, misogyny, & white supremacy are a threat to all of our communities, and we must call out the targeted, violent attacks on our AAPI neighbors.
This is DEFINITELY about the fact that they were ASIAN WOMEN. Robert Aaron Long did not go on a mass murdering spree of a strip club–a business which actually sells sex. He targeted Asian massage parlors specifically on the basis of race. He had a fetish for Asian Women, but his church told him sex was wrong and rejected immigrants. So he went ahead and killed 8 innocent people to “eliminate the temptation.” These women were minding their own business at work. We cannot dismiss the fact that in American culture, especially ****, Asian women are portrayed as submissive, hypersexual beings who exist solely to please white men.
“Racially motivated violence must be called out for exactly what it is, and we must stop making excuses or rebranding it as economic anxiety or sexual addiction,” said Strickland, who is the first ever Korean-American woman in Congress and the first Black member from Washington.
Long claimed the shootings were not motivated by a hatred of Asian people.However, a witness told major South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo that Long shouted, “I am going to kill all Asians” while opening fire at one location.
There have been 2,805 mass shootings since the Gun Violence Archive began compiling data in 2014 and they are becoming more frequent.

Massachusetts authorities investigating Saturday’s deadly shooting in Winthrop said they have found evidence that the incident may have been a hate crime, a report said.Fox 25 Boston reported that two people were fatally shot by Nathan Allen, a 28-year-old with no criminal history. Allen stole a truck, crashed it into a building and then gunned down two Black bystanders....witnesses pointed out that Allen passed other bystanders not of color, MassLive.com reported."This individual wrote about the superiority of the white race," she said in a statement. "About whites being ‘apex predators.’
The report identified the two victims as David Green, 58, a retired state trooper, and Ramona Cooper, a 60-year-olf Air Force veteran. They were both Black.
Here are some excerpts from Allen’s written journals, which have been edited with asterisks to not repeat the offensive language. In one notebook, he wrote:“White people are the worlds apex predators.” “Whites in the USA are waking up. FACT.” “Blacks are f**king losers. All of them.”“They know they are inferior to us.” “The white race is superior.” In another notebook he again wrote about apex predators and stated some of his beliefs:“Men need to kill things.”“Women do not understand men.” In a different notebook he wrote:“Whites will play the knockout game with n*gs. All its gonna take is a lil nudge, then whites in the US will snap and kill all the s**tskins. Its in our blood. Its nature. Racism is good. Natural. Killing s**tskins is in our blood. We need to do it. We are apex predators.”...“I remember the first black I ever hated…Darrell or…Some f**king r**arded m**key n**ger name. A f**king smelly violent r**ard. I can see it immediately. 1,000,000 yrs. of evolution molded me to hate these subhumans.” Two pages later in “The Allen Diaries” he wrote: “Through middle and high school I met n**ger after n**ger that was just f**king terrible to be around. I’m done. They f**king suck.” One page later, he wrote:“Racism is healthy and natural. And holding it in is bad for you. Consider this my Rx. F**k n**gers.”
