The refusal to name anti-Asianess, racism, white supremacy, misogyny, or class in this is whiteness doing what it always does around justifying its death-dealing. The centering of the suspect’s “rage” vs the vulnerability of the victims is also disgustingly familiar.

Atlanta area officials say the suspect claimed the massage parlor shootings were not racially motivated but that he wanted to ‘eliminate’ locations he saw as ‘temptations’ for his sex addiction

To ignore the deeply racist and misogynistic history of hypersexualization of Asian women in this “explication” from law enforcement of what emboldened this killer is also a willful erasure.

the inability of people in power to acknowledge the source of all of these hate crimes is baffling. There's one source: White Fear propagated by Fox News and the Republican party. That simple.

It is still MURDER. EIGHT MURDERS. with time to think between locations. Murders by another white male “religious” owner of gun.

I have never heard cops act as defense attorneys for a mass murderer before like this. "he was just trying to clean up his addiction". so give him a pat on the back for attempting to "improve" his life??? this is disgusting.
