Any killing is troubling but targeted ones even more so.
Will wait for more information though.

White, beard, archery baseball cap. Arrested, not shot dead on sight. Hum.

‘Atlanta’ is sufficient, then you nearly exactly know the rest of all the headlines...lol

True, but based on the regularity and pattern of such attacks it isn't unfair to speculate about the sort of animal that did this.

It is getting to be more and more dangerous to be Asian in America.

It must be remembered, CoVid came to America about a year ago. First it affected the Orient, then hit Australia, NZ and then North America this time last year. News media have shown biased coverage of China and Diaper Don has made his lippy 'kung flu' jokes like a kid. An Oriental restaurant in Texas got graffitied last week and these hate crimes are increasing. And they are hate crimes. The jerks doing this crap are too stupid to tell ethnic Chinese from Japanese from Koreans, etc. and they're too stupid to realize that Chinese people (even with that rotten CCP government) are suffering from this too.
Some booger-brained morons are always looking for somebody to hate, looking for an excuse to bash somebody.

What's with the bumfluff on the chin?

I'm going to assume this young fellow was a brainwashed QAnon follower that was seeking vengeance against the election loss and the "Chinese Virus". Or, maybe just an InCel targeting young women.

Bumfluff beards are quite in on the right wing, conspiracy wingnut website scene.
Of course we don't know his motives yet but I'm guessing its not that he was not satisfied with his "happy ending".

Domestic terrorist. Still not giving them the amount of attention necessary. RIP to the victims.

Oh, He looks like a keeper.......
Racializing the virus and normalizing the racism, Trump and his ilk can draw a direct line between epithets like “Kung flu” and an uneducated, most likely delusional followers who take such filth as a license to commit murder - much as his “patriotic” followers did when they tried to overthrow the government.

He could be Antifa or some deranged disgruntled guy for all we know with a chip on his shoulder you or I don’t know the reason, he’s an adult, he’s responsible for his own actions, keep the blame on the perpetrator himself, so it’s probably better not to speculate.

A Georgia man who professed a passion for guns and God was in custody on Tuesday night after a string of shootings that police said appeared to target Asian women at massage parlors and left eight people dead.

These deaths are on Trump and the QAnon 2A NRA Evangelical Cult Christians

The motive notwithstanding, I hope this crime does not inspire copycats.

Tucker Carlson says things like this

No....
A Georgia man who professed a passion for guns and God

That doesn't sound like a Hillary Supporter. In this shooter's eyes Hillary is an evil witch (Aaron Long says he's a 2A NRA Evangelical man of God just like all other Trump people) , which means this guy is a Trump person.

Good idea. Much more fun than waiting for facts you may not like.
commanteer
At least 3 of the victims were not Asian, 2 were white. But, you can ignore that if it helps you.

We don't have to wait for facts anymore:
A Georgia man who professed a passion for guns and God was in custody on Tuesday night after a string of shootings that police said appeared to target Asian women at massage parlors and left eight people dead.

This kind of person always baffle me ...
bass4funk
Yes, but they did not say he was a hardcore Trump supporter. Let’s not speculate.
