Whatever. I'm just trying to figure out which ones dealt in prostitution & human trafficking & if any were legit massage therapy businesses mistakenly targeted.

There's lot's of positive coverage of Ms Tan, the owner of Young's, like this story, but it also includes some info which prompts questions.

This from a friend & loyal regular customer with a bad back :
...there was regular turnover among the women who worked at the spa, but usually because they would work for Tan for some months or years and then open their own spa in the area. The workers were mostly Chinese immigrants... Tan's staff often lived at her large nearby home when they first arrived from China, and seemed focused mostly on earning money for their families. "You're coming here to get a massage. All these girls that have worked for her over the years are working for her on their own free will," he said. "They’re here for a better life. They’re diligent and work hard and all the money they make is going toward a better life for their family.”

These places should get the same media scrutiny that Bob Kraft's favorite spot received. ...fat chance.

Oh the sexual distribution is illegal at all those joints, we just have a lot of legal Asians in the greater Atlanta MSA (not my term but such as “little Cambodia” or Chamblodia (around Chamblee) and a million others. Many legal and poor so I can’t tell which ones came in off containers vs just got shipped over by their pimp bc the street hustle don’t work no more or of their own volition.

I have my own thoughts of legalizing women’s right to sell their gear in freely negotiated transactions. Wasn’t against it before per se, but actually was convinced of this by a former stripper, one when we had this chat but at a regular bar, who got a PhD in something like women’s psychology or female focused gender (as I mansplain this) at Ohio St just finishing maybe two years ago. Hottest girl I’ve seen in Atlanta let alone working the daddy’s worst nightmare pole.

Some perspective on recent developments (which may be lost on more than a few around here) who sometimes want to excuse bad behavior just to "own the libs"

"Republicans waving swastikas and Confederate flags cheering Vladimir Putin over their own President and country?
Totally on brand."

"If a gunman drove to three donut shops shooting people and 6 of the 8 victims were police, would the cops believe for a second that the shooter was motivated by his struggle with healthy eating? "

That depends what kind of donuts they were.

Krispy Kreme or Dunkin?

Watch me melt some heads for fun...

If it were a Krispy Kreme with Krullers how would the cops react? We know the MaGA crowd would be up in arms.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has done the right thing, telling CNN, "It looked like a hate crime to me." But, as far as her city's law enforcement is concerned, "we are not there as of yet," in the words of Rodney Bryant, the acting chief of the Atlanta Police Department. FBI director Christopher Wray echoed the APD's stance, telling NPR in an interview published on Thursday, "(I)t does not appear that the motive was racially motivated. But I really would defer to the state and local investigation on that for now."

Why? In what world does Bob Kraft have anything to do with this story?

Why in heaven's name should the media investigate the businesses where the victims were murdered? To see if they can find excuses for what the shooter did?

You lost me.

The GA hate crime law also includes gender. If it wasn't a racial hate crime, it was certainly a hate crime against women.

Christian religious fundamentalism has also entered the chat.

You love our girl huh? I don’t know her but have to figure I can Kevin Bacon a close enough connection if you ever come to Atlanta give me a good bit of heads up and I’ll figure out how to get you a meet and greet!

Also, I see Stacey Dash is rejecting her past two decades now. What would it take to go there? Desus & Mero did a bit and generally my line of thinking which is “you don’t really believe this but you’re so pretty I could take a lot before stopping. MaGA hat, eh, just say you needed to wear red. Jewish space lasers? Well I supposed it’s being said inside these walls...Capitol riots, Uhh, gotta think on that one.”

To determine why these businesses were targeted. Was it because they were Asian-American businesses or because they were the local massage parlors with which this nut was familiar.

Was this an ethnically based hate crime against Asian-Americans, as is being depicted, or was it murder, in which the victims were targeted because they participated in the illicit sex trade & possibly human trafficking ?

Pretty sure the police and FBI are all over that. And the media won't have access to the shooter.

They'll get it figured out soon enough.

As I posted up the page -- the FBI Director & Atlanta PD are NOT yet calling it a hate crime against Asian-Americans,
...unlike the Presidential telethon panderfest which just dominated our airwaves.

Hmmm, 4:06 a.m (or 3:06).... Insomnia? Late nighter or early-morning riser? This pandemic has certainly messed with my sleep patterns. In any case, I hope you're well.

Yes. It's what the media does.

That said, when you murder a half dozen people....and they're all the same gender and race, and the assailant is the ridiculously stereotypical white male....it's not exactly a claim that's out of left field.
