Robert Aaron Long committed a heinous crime when he killed eight people at three different spas in Atlanta, Georgia. Most of those people were Asian. Most of those people were women. The facts we have today include Robert Aaron Long admitted to and receiving treatment for a sex addiction. He was religious. He is white.
The democrats’ mouths are watering: another opportunity to take a page from Hitler’s playbook. President Biden, not because he had an original thought of his own, but because he was told to tell America during his visit to Georgia, that Robert Aaron Long perpetrated an Asian hate crime.
NO EVIDENCE CURRENTLY EXISTS THAT THE ATLANTA SHOOTINGS WERE MOTIVATED BY HATE!!!
Robert Aaron Long did not have an on-line account that displayed Asian hate propaganda. He did not write an Asian hate manifesto. Robert Aaron Long was a religious, conflicted man who abhorred his own addiction and, in his words, wanted to remove temptation. Multiple reports also indicate Long said his crime was not racially motivated.
NO EVIDENCE CURRENTLY EXISTS THAT ROBERT AARON LONG’S KILLINGS WERE AN ASIAN HATE CRIME!!!
The Cherokee County sheriff has indicated the crime may still be prosecuted as a hate crime which can include any crime specifically targeting people of any particular race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, mental disability or physical disability based on Georgia law. Since most of his victims were Asian women those charges could be levied. The question still remains, was his crime motivated by a specific hatred?
The fact that he was fighting a sex addiction and had apparently visited at least two of the three massage parlors or spas in the past certainly suggests he may have been targeting the providers of certain services. The question still remains was he targeting women because of a hatred or were his victims chosen on other criteria?
At this point it’s safe to say, WE DON’T KNOW!!!
The fact that the President is already passing judgment on a suspect who hasn’t even been arraigned is despicable. The President and Vice President should set examples of how our system of justice works. They should not espouse innuendo and should not stoke the flames of the racism wildfire ravaging our country. They should rise above the rhetoric that incites anxiety. In short, they should act like role models for our country to follow.
