So instead of being respectful to the victims and condemning mass shootings, you want all massage parlors in America to be banned.

Typical American kneejerk reaction. Prostitution in Canada, Germany, Australia, etc is legal, maybe one day we’ll evolve like them.

Not quite every day.

This one happened just before 5:00 AM at a warehouse rented for a party. The shooting was. Gang related.

We have no clue why he decided to shoot up several Massage Parlors, and while it looks like obvious anti-Asian hate, it's better to wait for more of the news story to come out before we start assigning motives. I try to say this about every mass-killing.

Among the deceased, which appear to be mostly Asian women, are one white man and one white woman.

Way to put unspoken words onto someone else. Read again what I wrote not what you assigned me.

As a matter of fact at least in my part of the world most massage establishments had gone legitimate more than a decade ago as lower down the class structure folks are getting them for things on the body other than the genital's.

I can't speak for the poster whom you can't and are lmao'ing at.

However, he raises a point which deserves to be examined.

Chicago, like Baltimore, Newark, Camden, Philadelphia, and other urban areas in the U.S., have many times this many fatalities from mass shootings every weekend. In the summer, it's worse. And since the 2020 riots and terrorism, with all the anti-police sentiment which saw many cops quit or retire, criminals have been emboldened, with violent crime rising drastically in many cities.

This of course includes assaults (often against strangers) as well as criminal homicides.

What Robert Aaron Long did on March 16, 2021 in Georgia will ensure he either gets the death penalty or life in prison, and it was a series of egregious, despicable, and immoral acts for which there is no excuse.

However, ask yourself why these specific types of shootings garner so much attention, whereas the repeated and exhausting numbers of criminal homicides which are tantamount to a low-scale genocide within the black community go unnoticed, all the more in this day and age of people screaming that black lives matter (they do, but what is BLM doing about it, all the more since it got $90m in 2020)?

And, remember as well, that in 2021, there are dozens of cases of black-on-white murders, and these aren't getting the publicity that Long's actions are getting.

It's mostly blacks assaulting Asians anyway. Asian senior citizens have been knocked out and even killed by young black thugs.

I know...but it's all the time. I work at a "bad" neighborhood and I hear about shootings everyday.
It's depressing.
Im leaving this city.
