Sure it does -- but the area also has some of the wealthiest Black communities.

It is just a reality.

The USA has a high rate of gun violence, accidents, etc. It just does. How can we address that problem?
Start with what the actual problem is, not law abiding guns owners....thugs, gangs, etc....people would rather go after me with more laws than those just mentioned.

It does make them targets. As with many prostitutes murdered in years past.
It was not my intent to connect human trafficking with this specific incident. However, it is widely known and easily searchable that sex trafficking drives the illicit massage business. I am not speaking of voluntary prostitution, I am speaking of forced sexual exploitation.

But whether or not it applies to this instance is irrelevant. The loss of life at another's hand is absolutely tragic and stands alone.

Sweet, then there shouldn't be 157 homicides in Atlanta. I guess the non-wealthy ones don't believe in BLM.

Regrettably, over the past 25 years, law enforcement, at both the Federal and State levels, has been slow to respond. … Killings committed by individuals and groups associated with far-right extremist groups have risen significantly.â€.

Ah, took you long enough to take a shot at President Trump.

An op-ed... an opinion piece.

Try again, leftist child.

Just read the BBC news and all the leaning is toward a hate crime against Asians......and not a hit against immorality. That latter is what I would assume first.....so I wonder.

yup, I personally own 6 firearms so I'm no anti-2A'er.

tbh, we can't/won't. I've lost ALL faith in the leadership of this country to get anything accomplished. it's all bickering and gridlock and kicking the can down the road.

Yup, this is sad even for liberals. Using an opinion piece article from 2019 to deflect from a mass shooting under Joe Biden.

Might as well say Trump is still in office if they're going to keep blaming him for everything.

Repped.

And very good point, I might add.
