Police say on the afternoon of March 16, a 21-year-old man named Robert Aaron Long walked into a massage parlor outside Atlanta and shot five people. Long drove to two other massage parlors in the city and fired four more. Of the nine people, Robert Long is accused of shooting, two were white, one was Spanish and the other six were Asian women. Of the six women, according to the South Korean government, there were at least four Koreans.
Police caught Robert Long within hours as he was driving his Hyundai south on Interstate 75. At the sheriff’s press conference the next day, Captain Jay Baker explained what happened next.
CHEROKEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAY BAKER: The suspect did take responsibility for the shooting. He said this early on when we first started the interviews with him. He claims that it, and as the chief said, it is still early, but he claims that it was not race-driven. He apparently has a problem, which he regards as sex addiction, and regards these places as something that allows him to go to these places, and it is a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate.
The police therefore took a long and detailed statement from Robert Long, and to repeat, this is what they found: Long immediately admitted the crimes. But while admitting to committing multiple murders – a capital offense in the state of Georgia – Long denies having any racial motivation. Instead, he told police he had sex addiction and a ‘problem with pornography’, and that he had shot up massage parlors in an attempt to allay his own temptation to visit them.

Police arrested Long on his way to Florida, where he said he was planning to kill more people in the sex industry. Robert Long was therefore determined about prostitution and pornography, which is why he said he committed the murders. The next day, information came to light that apparently confirmed his story. A man named Tyler Bayless said he shared a room with Long last year in a rehab center in Georgia. Bayless was there for drugs, but Long was there for sex addiction.
“It was something that would absolutely torture him,” Bayless said. While at the facility, Long returned regularly and “explicitly goes to massage parlors to practice sexual acts.”
Because of this torture, he said he experienced, Long says, that he shot eight people.
A ninth victim, 30-year-old Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz, remains in critical condition in hospital. According to police, Hernandez-Ortiz had nothing to do with prostitution at all. He happened to be walking past a massage parlor on his way to another business when Long shot him.
So these are the facts as we understand them. An honest reporter can follow these facts in a number of obvious directions. Robert Long seems disturbed, but his obsessive and violent behavior unfortunately seems familiar when you follow the news closely. An increasing number of Americans are struggling with mental illness. It’s worth learning more about Robert Long’s life, if only to try to prevent the next mass shooting.
Then there is the real question about sex addiction, which we should not laugh at. Why is there so much prostitution in Atlanta? Google business listings show more massages in the city than Starbucks stores. Who works in these places and under what circumstances? This is not a difficult question to answer. Wikipedia has a complete entry on human trafficking in the state of Georgia. According to the Department of Justice, “Atlanta is a major transportation hub for young girls” and “one of the fourteen U.S. cities with the highest trafficking in child sex.”
A competent media can tell us more about this. Knowing more facts and judging them rationally can improve this country. But that’s not the coverage we get. It’s not even close to the coverage we get.
Instead, the common liars describe the massacre in Atlanta as the only thing it apparently was not: a racial attack. “White rule and hatred haunt Asian Americans,” CNN confidently announced in a headline.
DON’S LEMON, WHICH IS SUPPORTERS TRUMPER, DOESN’T DEMONIZE CNN VIEWERS TO TREAT ‘PEOPLE AS HUMANS’
David Leebron, the president of Rice University in Texas and a man who was supposed to be a scholar, may have been watching. He immediately issued a statement in which key facts about the killings were completely wrong, not that facts were the point of the statement. The point was to make sure everyone understood the political lesson.
“The deliberate use of terms such as ‘the China virus’ to promote disorder has played an important role,” Leebron said, as if he knew it was true. (He did not do so because there is no evidence.) He continued, “Unfortunately and predictably, this increase in racial hatred has led to violence.”
Leebron tells us that it was all predictable, because once you describe a Chinese virus as Chinese, people are obviously going to start killing Korean women. You could see it coming.
Harvard could not be involved either. Bigotry against Asians is a sensitive topic at Harvard University, as it is one of the few institutions in American life that has publicly acknowledged that they are committing it. Many schools do, but Harvard has caught on. Over the years, Harvard has denied access to Asian students precisely because they are Asians. If there is a clearer definition of bragging than that, it’s hard to imagine what it might be. Harvard does not want to talk about it, and a massacre in Atlanta was the perfect way to change the subject.
CNN HEMORRHAGING VIEWERS SINCE TRUMP LEFT OFFICE, ALMOST 50% IN KEY MEASURES
“In recent years,” Harvard administrators wrote, “Asians, Asians and Americans in the Pacific are being blamed for the pandemic.” Again, if you note that the novel coronavirus originated from Wuhan, a mentally ill sex addict will surely shoot up a brothel in Atlanta.
Seems far-fetched? The White House press secretary agrees.
JEN PSAKI: “You know, I think there’s no doubt that some of the harmful rhetoric we saw during the previous government was reproached – you know, call COVID, you know, the ‘Wuhan virus’ or other things. has led, you know, to perceptions of the Asian-American community that are inaccurate, unfair … “
So white supremacists did it. This is such a lie. Asian Americans unfortunately suffer quite a few violent attacks in this country, but there is no evidence that an increase in White supremacy is causing the attacks. We do not have to guess about this, because the Department of Justice keeps the numbers. According to federal statistics, African-American perpetrators are more likely to attack Asian-Americans than any other group. It happens quite a bit.
LEO TERRELL SAY DEMS WANTS TO MARK ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS AS RACISMERS: ‘DO I LOOK LIKE A WHITE SUPREMACIST? ‘
Most racial violence in this country, most violence of all kinds, occurs within racial groups. Whites attack Whites the most, Blacks are the most likely to attack Blacks, and so on. The only exception we found was Asians. Asians are more likely to be attacked by African Americans than by members of their own ethnicity.
Why is this? We can not say with certainty, and we are not going to speculate. Unlike the other cable channels, we will not draw big and divisive conclusions from this or any race data. It is always wrong to blame an entire group for anything. Treat people first as individuals – that’s the whole point of America. We can say that it has been going on for some time, as everyone who lives in a city knows.
Tensions between African Americans and immigrant Korean store owners, for example, were a key factor in the 1992 Los Angeles riots. It was not QAnon who made violent threats against Asian retailers in New York in the 1980s. It was Al Sharpton. And so on. As noted, this type of violence has a long history, although the media has done their best to ignore it.
But now they are lying to us at a very high volume. Why do they do it? Because they have to. The Democratic coalition is extremely unstable and becoming more. Look at the election results. Spanish provinces on the Mexican border turned red overnight. The rise of BLM and the riots they led to during the summer are a big part of why this is happening. Decadent white liberals loved the whole thing, but no one else did. BLM has spoken out in favor of abolishing the nuclear family and looting and burning small businesses.
GEORGIA SHERIFF SS ‘BAD DAY’ REMEMBER DOES NOT MEAN DISPOSITION TO VICTIMS OF SPA SHOOTING
If you’re a bearded nihilist living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a degree in gender studies from Oberlin, this might sound pretty good. If you’re a Chinese immigrant or Salvador, have a restaurant or a dry cleaning business, it definitely does not sound good. You especially care about your family. You desperately need your business. The Democratic Party is therefore in danger of losing voters like this. Take another look at the latest election results. At this point, the media’s job is to remind these voters that they need to stay in the Democratic Party because the real enemy is white men. So that’s what they’re doing.
NICOLLE WALLACE, MSNBC: I’m just thinking of the domestic terror alert we received shortly after the uprising. It warned us that by the end of April we would be living under the threat of domestic violence extremism from a combination of White supremacists, militias and extremists who are angry about both the election results because of Donald Trump’s big lie and the COVID restrictions. . I wonder if you can talk about the crossing of the group we were publicly warned about and the target of Asian Americans.
White rulers and militias who were angry about COVID restrictions. This is what committed mass murder in Atlanta on Tuesday. It’s tempting to laugh like that for lies, and especially for that buffalo Nicolle Wallace. Who would believe a word she says? But keep in mind, the more they say it, the more people believe it, and the more power they can grab based on the lies.
We have seen this happen in the two months since January 6th. At first it was almost amusing to hear what they call a “white supremacy of the supremacy”. It was so stupid. But now, two months later, it’s anything but established history. They are changing the country based on these lies. They repeat it until people believe them, and then they act. Never underestimate the power of propaganda. That’s why they use it. This is not an accident.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is wasting no time. He uses all that happened in Atlanta on Tuesday to justify the NYPD on anyone who disagrees with him.

DE BLASIO: I think even if something is not a criminal case, an offender is confronted by the city – whether it is NYPD or another agency – and is told that what they did was very hurtful to ‘ another person and that it could ever be repeated could lead to criminal charges – this is another important piece of the puzzle.
“Even if something is not a criminal case,” police may respond. Even if it’s not a crime. What does de Blasio say here? The mayor of New York is appealing to armed police in America’s largest city. Laugh if you want to. “De Blasio is a joke,” or how? Do not wait. What sounds absurd today is used sooner than you think.
