Re: The double standard is real
Classmates of the creep in Atlanta are saying he was religious. We already know he was something of an incel/sexually frustrated per his own confession. I should be a profiler.
I think fear of being called racist a-hole for mentioning the fact that the Asian run massage parlors might have been rub and tugs is why I did not dismiss the racial motivation out of hand. One pic I saw of one of the businesses seemed to suggest they weren't upscale "Spas".
On second thought, you don't have to be a genius to look at that guy and think incel. He's like a webster's dictionary picture of one.

Re: The double standard is real
I believe he told police he's a sex addict and they are temptation. It might be possible they shut him out for being a creep but I think he is just blaming them for his compulsion/lack of willpower. Something having a girlfriend might have been a more healthier outlet for.
They are not saying it outright but I'm guessing he was going and getting handys
There will probably be a lot of stories in the media about that in the coming weeks.
I'm also guessing it's attention that industry does not want at all.

Re: The double standard is real
There is a study that shows, based on criminal interactions with police, whites are more likely to be shot than blacks. A higher percentage of blacks are killed by police based on percentage of population, but we can't use that as the standard because while black males make up 6% of the population, they commit over 40% of violent crimes. Violent criminals, regardless of race, are more likely to be killed by police.

Re: The double standard is real
You know I was coming back to this to say it still could be all three, racism, religion, sexual frustration because the fact they don't look like him of course that might make them a convenient scapegoat for his moral failings.
That was a big blind spot type of moment for me. Of course racism could be playing a part.
I don't know if it's fetishism though. Could be. My brothers and I joke that our Dad, who was in the Navy, seemed to have a fondness for Asian women. We think he might have acquired that while cruising in the Philippines as a young man, lol.
I was thinking that the Handy Massage Parlor industry seems to be a niche that attracts Asian proprietors. I thought it might have just been due to that but it after some reflection realized you can't rule it out a racial element because of that. It would be a politically convenient conclusion to draw if you were vested in ruling it out. I think I was being guilty of that.
Now if the story starts being reported as just an incident of hate/racially motivated violence by a "white supremacist" etc. and ignores the religious/incel part of it completely then that would be political expediency too.
The "gun" thing will get played hard though as he bought it a couple hours before the shooting. I'm not sure how that's possible. Must be easy still to get a gun in Georgia. You can't walk out with a gun in Maryland same day and haven't been able to for a long time.

Re: The double standard is real
After a short pursuit???? How many black men have we seen get killed while simply running away? Why don't they get the courtesy of a brief pursuit before apprehension? Why do black folk get shot in the back when a cop is in pursuit?

Re: The double standard is real
What about Tony Timpa, Daniel Shaver, or Martin Gugino. All white, all killed by the police. And yet virtually no national media attention.
The issue is police brutality against everyone. Not a race issue.Master of 'Gifs for dummies'
