Where I live, there has been an uptick in violence against Asians - random attacks based solely on how a person looks. It is a tense situation. Anti-Asian motives exist.It didn't take the local news long to backtrack on their story. I'm sorry but assigning bias to a shooter before any facts are known is poor reporting. They didn't just say it was possible, but found people and groups to interview and speculate on anti-Asian motives.

Info from this presser: Perp told interrogators he has a sex addiction issues. FWIW.
From the presser: The Atlanta locations were legally operating businesses and not on LE radar as problem spots.
From the presser:
Why does this matter? Does that justify the murders of eight people?

I agree 100%, with the info we have now.Just on the limited facts we currently are working with, I am going to speculate that this perp has an immense amount of shame around his own, er, needs and that this shooting will come down to misplaced rage/violence against women wrapped around his own self loathing for being "weak" and his need to find somewhere to put all that loathing. I don't know that anything feels racially motivated to me as yet. I think maybe it will turn out to be all about his own issues and the women he opted to place blame for those issues on. Gonna go further out and say the males were collateral damage. Again, this is just my current speculation and is subject to change as more facts become available.
