I'm sorry, are you suggesting that the shootings were justified by the "true nature of the businesses attacked and the people who run them"???old salt wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:59 pmYou're projecting again.

ohh my, he didn't 'hate' them...he just killed them, targeting them because they were in the sex trade and just happened to be Asian...mothers, wives, ohhh, ohhh, they must be sex traffickers....
I really couldn't give a hoot whether this specific crime was because the perp has some sort of twisted thing for Asian women. It doesn't matter....he'll be doing very hard time regardless.
What's far more concerning is the 150% increase in attacks on Asian Americans, grandmas on street corners, the verbal abuse...yes, that's definitely tied to Trump and all the other idiots who tried to make the virus be about something other than a massive worldwide public health crisis.
This particular crime just happened to go down as protests about the violence and bigotry against Asians was increasingly get attention. Maybe a total coincidence. Doesn't matter, it happened in the context of a real issue...of course, that's what the whiners want to deflect from.
And, yeah, the idiot cop Baker is emblematic of that issue bleeding over into policing. Not ok.

We are pointing out the phoney exploitation of this crime as a hate crime against Asian Americans & the dishonesty of the media in ignoring the true nature of the businesses attacked & the people who run them. There was a moment of silence in Congress & flags flying at half staff to honor a bunch of slain brothel keepers. Our new heroes.
...& listen to Baker's complete statement before you condemn him.

Selectively edited excerpt. No context. Media hit piece.
When VP Harris shamed the nation, she should have called out the spate of attacks on Asian American seniors by young black men.
Or simply that the value of these 8 people's lives were less?
And how the heck do you know who "the people who run them are"???? Other than the slain women, of course.
