American police are volunteering to patrol massage parlours off-duty to prevent any similar future attacks.

Yeah, I just saw that and edited before seeing your post. The initial reports stated:
Whatever the motive, it's just a terribly sad situation.
It’s our version of cops in clubs.
Waiting for Robert Kraft to claim he was just doing undercover work.
A bit late to the party, as it's a massage parlour it could also be an incel thing.
So let me see if I can follow this line of thought:
1. His church tells him having sex is a sin.
2. He feels guilty for having sex as he is committing a sin.
3. He feels the need to end his addiction to said sin.
4. So he kills everyone.......
Makes sense.
Way ahead of you my friend
Yeah I jumped right in so understandably missed yours. We had a similar incident in Toronto recently, although I think the guy stabbed the woman rather than shooting six people. I believe the cops here called it incel terrorism.
Religion and idiots is a terrible combination.
Sadly, he will engender a lot of sympathy with this confession.So let me see if I can follow this line of thought:
1. His church tells him having sex is a sin.
2. He feels guilty for having sex as he is committing a sin.
3. He feels the need to end his addiction to said sin.
4. So he kills everyone.......
Makes sense.
Weird way to talk about a terrorist.
Weird way to talk about a hate crime.
It's surely a new generation of perpetrators with a different profile, but I'd describe it as a new chapter of an old book. Would be an interesting discussion, but this is not the thread for it.
8 people had a worse day than he did.
This little coward was arrested without "incident". If he was arrested with an "incident" I don't think anyone would have been too disappointed. It's a disturbing trend too when you realize what kind of people are always arrested without incident.
All he needed to do was shoot his own penis off.So let me see if I can follow this line of thought:
1. His church tells him having sex is a sin.
2. He feels guilty for having sex as he is committing a sin.
3. He feels the need to end his addiction to said sin.
4. So he kills everyone.......
Makes sense.
Paging calod......
wait, wrong type of penile fetish. I am sure we have someone on here who is an expert on this.
God fearing lonewolves with mental health problems?
White people, mate.
This is like a logic puzzle:
Not all white people are "God fearing lonewolves with mental health problems", but all "God fearing lonewolves with mental health problems" are white people*
*at least when it comes to mass shootings.
Scarlett's use of "always" is not quite accurate but I'd wager the tendency for white folks to be arrested without incident is greater than that of non-whites. This may due to a number of factors not least that most white folks are less intimidated by the justice system as it isn't seen to be systematically biased against them and the likelihood of extremely negative outcomes (i.e. extra-judicial stuff) is reduced accordingly.of course I could be way off base and incarceration rates probably don't support this hypothesis but if we dig deeper into the arrest experience we might find it to be true, provided we take a broad definition of what "with incident" means.
Another shocking issue here if accurate. There is no waiting period in Georgia...
That'll definitely do it. If he had to wait a few days he might have reconsidered his actions.
He might have? Or he might have been flagged, and stopped? This attitude is really disappointing.
Yes, you're right. The obvious solution to this is to make guns much much more difficult to purchase like in any sane Country.
Either or. What I'm saying is access to firearms can be bad in the heat of the moment. At this moment we don't know if a background check would have flagged anything about him. What is well known is that a lot of murders are crimes of passion and having access to the victim or weapons or both at a certain moment can lead to tragedy.
Being able to go and buy a gun and walk out of the store with it same day when you're in a confused state is not good.
I'm fine with just making all non 1776 era guns illegal.
Haven’t seen any ‘tots & pears’ utterances by MTG yet (at least not on her official Twitter where such platitudes are typically offered), but apparently she vomited up this today. I guess it qualifies?
Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying completely. I thought you were being sarcastic.
It's something that his parents apparently called the police and said it might well be their son. If the police hadn't been able to track his car, he could have gone on to kill more people.
Wonder if anti-Asian racism is a theme amongst incels. Elliot Rodger was explicitly racist agains Asians too.
Per the mayor of Atlanta & police officials, Long apparently said he was headed to Florida to continue the spree. The cops did have good screen grabs of the car from at least one murder location & they apparently were aware of where he was headed a couple of hours after the murders. I-75 has a couple of corridors with decent saturation of traffic cameras which also aided law enforcement. But, no doubt, the apparent actions by his parents did contribute to an confident ID being established so quickly by LE. It’s also an apparent heartening aspect to this tragedy, that the right thing was done by them.
More likely racism as a whole is a problem with them often frequenting places like 4chan which is full of racist ideas.
This cult is so fecking mad. No matter if the details turn out that way or another.
No worries.
Someone nailed it earlier - there’s such a fetishization regarding guns in this country. Anti-government stances coupled with the idiotic ‘second amendment is a god given right’ view, coupled with general neck behavior, has conspired to create this delusional confluence that only slowed down in recent months due to Covid, but has made an unfortunate resurgence this year.
You forgot guns in your equation.
