Welp, this thing..

A 21-year-old man from Woodstock, who was captured in South Georgia on Tuesday night, is the suspect in three metro Atlanta massage parlor shootings that left eight people dead, authorities said.

Robert Aaron Long was first identified as the suspect in the shooting at Young’s Asian Massage Parlor in Cherokee County that left four people dead and one person injured, according to the sheriff’s office. He is also a suspect in two more shootings at similar businesses in northeast Atlanta that resulted in four more deaths, according to a sheriff’s office spokesman.

Six of the eight victims were Asian women, authorities said.

This was friggin terrible and sad to see it happen, it had to be a hate crime. On a side note, I was headed out for the first time in a year yesterday and going to KK Spa and to my surprise 2 SAPD cars in the parking lot out front, not sure if the spa was the target or not. Any thoughts?
In the News This Mourning on the Radio, That 20 Spas were busted Last Night. Any One Else Her it, or have any Info?
20 San Antonio Spas?

This Atlanta thing is terrible and also all the attacks on Asians nationwide. I know several Spa owners here who are bringing their guns to work.
I hope it's all false!!
It appears that this guy was a wacko who said he is a sex addict and needed to get rid of the temptation. Evidently he also shot 2 customers with one of them surviving. This could have happened anywhere and to anyone of us. This is from the news conference.
"He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction, and sees these locations as a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate," said Capt Jay Baker, adding that Mr Long was caught with a 9mm handgun and did not resist arrest.
hate crime or not, still could have been one of us. im sure some will get spooked for fear of copy cats. Havent heard anything about places getting popped either. Maybe H-town?

If only we had a good reason to ask the
massage girl to lock the door during the
session that would improve safety for
everyone concerned.

Hmm....

This is very sad/upsetting/frustrating in so many different ways. This 21 year old cruising broke ass antifa clown took out his frustration on those that could afford to enjoy this hobby. This goat fuck situation is now in the OCONUS spotlight. This bullshit is going to ruin the game for all us Crypt Keepers. The Mongers are now on edge. the LEO unions are now on edge and will break their promises to the parlors if it avoids the city negative attention. our precious mamasitas are now re-thinking the profession delivers our one last freedom in this country. I want to break that punk kid out of jail and buttstroke his antifa face until he crosses the void.
I'll be laying low for a while
