after a noticeable drop in mass shootings during the pandemic, there has been a major incident with 8 deaths near atlanta, georgia. six of the victims were asian american.

was this a hate crime related to the rise in anti-asian sentiments, stoked by conspiracies around the corona virus and amplified by bigoted rhetoric like that of the former US president - or is this just americans being americans, and a sign of the country slowly returning to "normalcy"?

Shooter was white so theres probably going to be an insane manifesto popping up soon

The real question imo.. was the FBI watching him prior to these incidents?

looks like the loser shooter was a deranged frustrated voyeur, just like the OP of this topic:

ATLANTA — Eight people died, including six women of Asian descent, in shootings Tuesday at three spas in the Atlanta area, authorities said. One man was also injured.

Authorities are investigating the motive behind the shootings. Officials said Wednesday that the gunman, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, told investigators that race did not play a factor in the attack, which comes amid a document rise in anti-Asian sentiment nationwide.

...

Cherokee County Sheriff's Capt. Jay Baker said the suspected gunman who killed eight people Tuesday during shootings at spas in the Atlanta area appeared to have targeted the locations because he was angry at the "porn industry."

"He was pretty much fed up, at the end of his rope," Baker said at a news conference Wednesday. "He sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places, and it's a temptation to him that he wanted to eliminate."

Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long had a "potential sexual addiction." He also told investigators that he planned to go to Florida to commit similar crimes, Baker said.

So it seems the guy was just a degenerate nut, but probably apolitical.
Of course still Trump's fault.

Most anti-porn people are on the right. Agreed though this is probably an isolated nutcase.

Sounds like an aging lonely incel that pushed himself over the edge one day.

He was surprisingly young to do such a thing though.
