Atlanta Police: Shooting Suspect May Have 'Sexual Addiction', Too Early To Say If It Was Hate Crime
Here come the excuses
@Blade Brown IKR, call it what it is…We have terrorists in our country whether ppl want to admit it or not.
Uh uh 😐 recently they were shifting the blame on blacks hurting Asian people.now this happens for the world to see.
@Deborah Freedman Lol tell that Lie again. I dare you.
@Fizzgig Fizzgig Yes. It was.
About happy endings driving a man crazy?
Excuses, excuses. Anyway I’m sitting here waiting for someone to say he was ANTIFA or a black guy in white face… 🙄
It’s on the way… We know that.
He was a antifa Marxist communist satanists atheist muslim Black lives matter socialist. Lol
He was a Bernie supporter
So his sexual disorder made him attack to Asian spas? No black spas, no white spas? Umm this is a target on a specific race no it’s and or buts.
@vene no and.politics
Truly antifa/blm like
@Tarek ldim Suklai Truly whyt boi like.
@Lovely Minx , yeah. Antifa.
@Thom Colmer Ummmm EXACTLY.. So he knew what the majority of the race would be there.
Either way, glad the authorities caught the SOB! R.I.P. to all the victims, condolences to their families.
His own family turned him in.
U.S. of Double Standard.
Here come the excuses. ” Mental Problems”
Dorothy Nelson i’m so sick of the diabetes and insanity defense for racist killers
All they have left is lies, that’s why their nation is falling so fast.
@bb tubi what
And then we took him to Burger King before taking him to his bedroom / cell
Exactly.
Why do you say that?
@Wolf 7 do we really need to drag that old cat out the bag 😗
Happy meals?
No they didn’t
Uhhhhh NO! I have this addiction too and then only shooting I wanna do is load based.
See this is what I was thinking. I work at a massage parlor and sum of our clients are creepy af.
Ive only had one professional massage and i was relaxed for a month. No happy ending.
The kind of “message parlors” he targeted give legitimate message parlors a bad name.
I frequent a self-service massage parlor.
@screencapped lol, don’t we all?
@screencapped Underrated comment of the week here.
Diabetes, mental health, sexual addictions. Quit making excuses
My God, when does the excuses stop?
The excuses are not going to do him good anyway so why let it get to you
Based off CNN’s coverage of the Boulder, Colorado shooting they describe him as mentally ill, a loner and that he was bullied.
@Dgkana boo hoo they can cry me a river with that BS.
The shade thrown at Atlanta PD “We don’t have a lot of crime here in our area.”
Blaming the victims once again instead of holding the violators accountable. Racism is largely a white issue; created and perpetrated.
I been to Atlanta, friendo. You got crime and you got a lot of it.
@Private jen such lie’s from this FAKE news network. wake up people you are being played by the media. This had nothing to do with RACE. wake up people
That is BS. Not a lot of crime in Atlanta, sure. Make yourselves look good when NASCAR is coming into town.
If they were Muslim you would not have heard none of this smh
Noone cares about your religion
@My Own Path wake up he’s telling you exactly how they feel about Mohammed (pbuh).
Allahu akbar
So he just cocked his gun to satisfy his sexual addiction that made a lot of sense. please don’t make excuses for this horrific hate crime committed by this criminal.
@The GEICO gecko I don’t think it was an excuse. The police said this was his reasoning. Apparently it made sense to him, obviously no one else.
Its a violent crime, PERIOD!!
@M18 Hellcat I don’t think it can get any more violent than homicide. Nobody is arguing with that. Homicide is about as bad as it can get and eight homicides is really, really bad.
He drove to 3 separate Asian owned parlors, one of the places being 30 miles away from each other. 6 out of the 8 victims being Asian women. His victims were at targeted establishments primarily owned/staffed by Asian people. If he wanted to “just target s*x workers” there were 1000s of strip malls and adult entertainment areas in that part of Atlanta.
This is hate crime. Period
It’s not an excuse, it’s a reason. They said he claims a sexual addiction and that he frequented massage parlors. In other words, he went looking for a “happy ending”, and eventually snapped and shot up the place when they refused to give him one.
I’m surprised they didnt say ” mental illness” afterall it’s a white guy
Stop being a racist piece of garbage.
Also, once you go white, you’ll see the light.
Exactly
@Santus Scanderbegus the light was once where you are currently pegged. keep sitting on it
@八八 bad dog , bad dog
He enjoyed his happy endings so much he went on a murder spree… ? Wait what?
Or he was refused happy endings do much he went in a rampage
No no the other way around, he wants lizard style, turtle etc and happy ending with demon style. 😈
Ummm happy endings are illegal. Can’t y’all see they was the first criminals.
Who needs a defense attorney when you have Atlanta police.
Dude don’t worry that guy’s going to get the maximum penalty no matter what they say about him
The suspect has some sexual issues? Look at the ages of the women he killed. Most of them are in their late 50’s and 60’s. This is not sexually motivated. This is racially motivated!
@Lalaine Nash I think he knows the reason more than you do
Hes just telling them what the guy has said, hes not defending him
If his family is distraught, just think how distraught the family members of the victims are. They deserve more mention than the perpetrator’s family, and should have received more solidarity from the authorities in their statement . The police are already making excuses for the murderer. This is social collusion.
Exactly…they also said
HE HAD A BAD DAY…WTF
what about the family of the victims
It was his father and mother who turned him in
His family turning him in helped the police to apprehend him quickly before he could escape to Florida and continue his murder spree.
The police was grateful his family helped catch him before he could escape to Florida and continue his murder spree.
you kidding me with these tags? your takeaway here is “sexual addiction?”
He took them out like they were less than. If not asian hate than women hate. Hate crime none the less.
Nobody said Atlanta had the best cops in the world.
So, a “self-described” sexual addiction is now an excuse to commit mass murder ? … Hmmmm. 🔥
They will always have the perfect reason or excuse that is what we are all onto now…
I think you’re confusing “reason” with “excuse”. There is no excuse. His reason is lousy and he’ll likely die because of it.
It’s never caused me to want to hurt anyone. What a crock of 💩!!!
It’s called motive, dummy
@Klay Biggins and neither does it for 99% of them but you’ve always got some twisted person like this
“Sexual Addiction?”
Has he NOT noticed ALL the resources on the internet?…
ANY lie will do, I guess— once the police caught up with him quicker than he anticipated…
Funny how they won’t discuss the case but they’re already claiming “he has some issues”
I think that’s because it’s still under investigation. So technically they are not allowed to disclose specific information at the moment
Yep. Already setting the tone…
@Steve Lewis Then say NOTHING on the matter then.
@Demetrius Evans You mean like, the media decrying that this was motivated by race? Who is the one being conditioned?
They’re claiming that HE’S claiming that he has some issues.
