Source: The Guardian

Law enforcement officials including the director of the FBI have said the shootings in Atlanta in which eight people were killed do not appear to have been racially motivated, but the Georgia senator Raphael Warnock said on Sunday: “We all know hate when we see it.”

Six women of Asian descent, another woman and a man were killed on Tuesday, in a shootings at spas in the Atlanta area.

Robert Aaron Long, a 21-year-old white man, was charged with the murders. He told police his actions were not racially motivated, and claimed to have a sex addiction.

Speaking to NPR on Thursday, the FBI director, Christopher Wray, said: “While the motive remains still under investigation at the moment, it does not appear that the motive was racially motivated.”

Any way you look at this, women were targeted and in my honest belief, it was ASIAN race/ethnicity additionally being targeted. Incels may hate all women, but they can certainly target certain specific women in particular and that is what I see here.

Is it because he knows that hate crimes carry a larger punishment?

There is documented evidence that the guy had some serious sexual issues, and he visited those businesses as a customer. People want to fit it into the current wave of violence against Asian-Americans, which I understand, but it isn't so clear to me.
