There’s something sad about this discussion on anti-Asian racism, that’s been happening for months, now gaining traction at the cost of several lives taken. It’s not surprising that some people need something like this to shake them out of complacency. It’s just, again, sad.
RIP to the victims.

Except it won't change a fucking thing. It won't change the conversation on race, religion, minorities or guns. It won't change the danger of white supremacist violence. Instead we get the stupid "culture war" bullshit. Fuck every right wing supporter to hell. Every death is laid at their feet.
Nothing fucking changes.
This happens every time America and its media designates a country as the enemy, it fuels reactionary violence at home towards its diaspora.
Mod Edit: The original tweet linked to a CCP propaganda source that directly denies the ongoing Uyghur genocide. We've replaced the tweet with the images it originally referenced.

I'm so fucking tired of this shit.
America is so in denial about how it breeds racist domestic terrorists killers like this, and then frame it as some self-defending bullshit as having a bad day, like this is something that happens often when people have bad days.

RIP to the victims. That police officer‘s statement about “bad day for him” brought me back to Stan Edgar’s line in The Boys season 2.
I have bad day's but I do not go around shooting people. That guy looks exactly like I thought. Sad that this still occurs on a regular basis in the US.
I was initially upset reading the quote about "really bad day", but hearing the officer's full answer to the question makes it apparent the officer was conveying the perpetrator's own words and nothing more. Please do not take words out of context.
I do think it was a hate crime and I hope it will be reported as such.

It’s true that I don’t know if it’ll make macro difference. Any real changes to any of that. But there was a growing feeling among the Asian-American community of being unheard and voiceless. That no one cared. Even if it’s a superficial show of support, that people are talking is something in its own right. Showing people they aren’t alone. I dunno.
It is not the job of the police to function as the mouthpiece for the murder suspect.
I agree the officer was way too candid in answering the question in the middle of an investigation. He shouldn't have mentioned the details of the initial interview. When I read the thread, it made it sound like the officer was justifying the murders using his own words.
I think those are just the charges from Cherokee County. The other 4 will come from Fulton County.
Maybe he's really attracted to Asian women and figured he'd kill them to "remove the temptation"? I mean, what else is a "Good Christian sex addict" to do? What does his church have to say on the topic of Masturbation vs Murder? Which is worse?
Seriously, what in the fuck is any of this?

The constant defense/humanization from the system and cops for white domestic terrorists is just...
It’s just beyond fucking infuriating.

its the same shit we got from the SF DA when the 84 year old thai grandpa who was walking in front of his house. When a guy that decided to jump out of his car, run across the street and tackle him and then take pictures and leave.
it was a "temper tantrum"
I just don't know what to say anymore. Just how many more "bad days" need to happen until shit gets fixed?
Fuck this racist douchenozzle and may the victims rest in peace.

Bad day? Bad day!! GTFO with that garbage!
You don't have to make excuses for a mass murderer.
But since he is white they are somehow "compelled" too.

I feel like out of everything that season, this was the most powerful message. Such a simple statement, but perfectly encapsulates the issue we have here in regards to racism.RIP to the victims.

I'll never understand why police departments ever let officers speak to the public in these situations, I mean I do but I don't. They're not trained in public relations and they always fuck it up, at best it's a coin flip they'll offer a borderline acceptable presentation. As with mental health matters they need to leave it to people who actually know what they're doing.
man this fucking guy
to the surprise of literally no one, greenwald comes to defend white supremacists
This is infuriating—what a piece of shit. Didn’t the FBI just announce that white supremacy was one of the biggest domestic threats to safety—like, just a few weeks ago? Can’t believe this asshole is asking everybody to “wait for the evidence,” like it hasn’t been staring at us, amongst us, for years...

I mean that one guy had a bad day and just wrote a song about it instead.
You're not even right about the context. He didn't say the suspect said this he said our investigators talked to him and this is what they found. So framing it as the police position not the killer's position.
There is a fake one out there, which is debunked in the below tweet:
