Who decides what is hate? How about the person on the receiving end of the hate?

Dumbass Roy in the hearing said that. What a ridiculous thing to say. But not surprising, I just love when white men whitesplain what is and isn't racism

"in Georgia, it's easier to buy a gun than it is to vote."

Accused Atlanta-area spas shooter Robert Aaron Long reportedly had no trouble buying a gun at a firearms dealership in Cherokee County on the day of the attacks — thanks to Georgia’s no-wait gun laws.

The Peach State does not require a waiting period for firearm sales, which means a person may purchase one from a federally licensed gun seller immediately if they pass a background check.

Republican lawmakers are now pushing for new legislation that would allow “lawful weapons carriers” to pack heat without a license.

On Wednesday, Matthew Wilson, a Democratic Georgia state representative, said in a tweet that “in Georgia, it’s easier to buy a gun than it is to vote.”

Fist they came- I think its a good time for this reminder

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

A young mom and her husband out for a night out amongst the victims of ATL's horrific attack

Newlyweds’ Romantic Night at Atlanta Massage Parlor Turned to Terror

The eight people killed in Tuesday’s shooting rampage included two hard-working business owners, and a young mom enjoying a night out with her husband.

Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez and her husband of less than a year wanted the night to themselves away from their kids on Tuesday.

To mark the special occasion, the newlyweds went to Young’s Asian Massage in Cherokee County, the 33-year-old’s younger sister, Dana Toole, told The Daily Beast.
“She was supposed to be enjoying a fun time with her husband,” Toole said, noting that her sister was the mother of a 14-year-old son and an 8-month-old daughter.

But the romantic getaway took a tragic turn after 21-year-old Robert Long allegedly entered the Asian massage parlor, fatally shooting Yaun and three others, before attacking two other massage parlors in a rampage that he blamed on his sexual-addiction issues.

There will be more violence

Clint Watts said yesterday on MSNBC that the reason we have not seen more violence is because of the shut down. As more places open up, and more people are out and about, more people - more crowds in one place, there may be more violence.

We had a rash of mass murders before the shut down. The climate seems even worse than before the shut down.

This press conference is pissing me off

Re: ATL murders yesterday

The reporters are asking the dumbest and biased questions.

Does he understand the gravity of what happened?


He looks like a pretty young guy

Do you ask the same of minority young men and women suspected of a crime?
Nope, we hear gang member, violent

Nobody wants to try to analyze them.

Also thank you Mayor Bottoms for stating We are not going to victim blame or shame.

It should be noted that another violent white suspected murderer was peacefully taken into custody

today after a police chase. All the foolishness about he shouldn't have run, he shouldn't resist when it comes to police killing UNARMED black people who are suspected of minor crimes sometimes no crime needs to end.


Long initially fled when approached by law enforcement, according to one report. Amazingly, the suspected mass shooter who was considered armed and dangerous was able to be taken into custody without police shooting him, let alone killing him.

Soo, this scammer called my dad

He tells my dad that a vehicle was found registered to him, his ID was found in it, and there was blood in the vehicle. He tells my dad, we don't know what happened, but it looks like it could be bad and you may be in trouble. You need to send us money blah blah blah.
Then he asks my dad, so Mr. can you confirm your location for us?
My dad says, I'm in your bedroom and I'm coming to get you, how do you think all that blood got in. the car?

Scammer quickly hangs up
