ATLANTA—A Georgia man who professed a passion for guns and God was in custody on Tuesday night after a string of shootings that police said appeared to target Asian women at massage parlors and left eight people dead.
Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock, Georgia, was caught on video at the crime scenes and later nabbed on a highway two hours south of Atlanta following a police chase, authorities said.
Police stressed that it was still much too early to announce a motive, but the horrific attacks come amid a wave of targeted violence against the Asian-American community.
Details about the suspect that began to trickle out offered few clues.
“Pizza, guns, drums, music, family, and God. This pretty much sums up my life. It’s a pretty good life,” read the tagline on an Instagram account that appeared to belong to Long.
A student who graduated from Sequoyah High with Long in 2017 who spoke on the condition of anonymity told The Daily Beast, “He was very innocent seeming and wouldn’t even cuss. He was sorta nerdy and didn’t seem violent from what I remember. He was a hunter and his father was a youth minister or pastor. He was big into religion.”

“This seems like an Occam’s Razor case of an moron. It doesn’t involve the CIA, KGB, Illuminate.”
I agree. Bad seed. And...here come the nutty conspiracies, right on schedule. This one is bad, plain and simple.
“False flag” my left cheek. There is no evidence, that is conjecture. Are you saying the shootings did not occur? Or that this person is in the employ of the government or other individuals? I will say what it is right here and right now. This is a sick, acting alone, deranged individual with weapons and the will to use them, a total and complete loser, a White Supremacist (because he has turned to that in his self-hatred as most of those nutballs do), he hates Asians, he posted as much on FB about China, COVID-19 has set him off, he went there to all three locations with the intent and purpose of killing Asians that have nothing to do with China or Corona, and he stated his intentions as such prior to the firing.”
Yep! Won’t matter to the “Ashley is still alive!” crowd. Some folks are just too far gone.
This idea that he was getting revenge for Covid is absurd.
We KNOW that it originated in China in a Wuhan lab that was working on bioweapon technology, with highly trained engineers, epidemiologists, I guess.
I don’t think that such well-educated people work in massage parlors in a red-light district.
And now the media is playing up his religious background, as if that is a factor. God and guns, two things the left hate, and have absolutely no understanding of.
Oh, yes, I would modify my post. You are right. Perhaps he wanted revenge for Covid but he was way off base on the correct target.
Nope.
Is there a problem with that?
Perhaps.
Thanks.
that’s the craziest crap I have read in months, if not years.
You would have made a hell of a writer for Mad magazine.
Anytime I hear/read someone use the term “False Flag” I know what they are really saying is “I don’t have any evidence, nothing resembling a coherent argument, but I’m off my meds”

Sorry for the late reply. If you do a search with “Catcher in The Rye” and Assassinations.” You will find articles giving the background of the association. Conspiracies are fun!
Right on schedule for the new Gun bills.
+++++
Oh ... now they suddenly have a white face they can apply to the “asian attacks” brought on by racism...
Daily Double winners.
Agree. And, agree.
What hospital did she die at. Where was she hit. Why can’t we ask the most basic questions or you answer them deplorable.
Does this look fake? She was shot, and is dying in this clip.

And right after, all these MAGA folks right there, saying she’s dead.

But no amount of evidence will change your mind, so it’s pointless replying to you. But rest assured, I’ll keep laughing at the crazies here. Low hanging fruit, you know.
My misunderstanding was based on my ignorance of the obsession which recent (well, in the 1980s) assassins (or would-be assassins) had with the novel.
I had falsely assume that posters here were implying that the novel's main character, Holden Caufield, was a "terroristic type" or that the novel, itself, advocated or encouraged (even indirectly) mass murder.
I haven't read the novel since I was in high school. I remember only that the main character's self-preoccupation and imagined "world-weariness" were a little off-putting.
Regards,
You do realize everyone in that room including the BLM cameraman were paid. Watch it again and ask two questions, why does the gun move left 3 feet right before he shoots and why do the two guys move between her head and the marble post as she falls. The ask why didn’t anyone jump and hit the deck when the shot went off.

Laugh all you want at your fellow Deplorables because they won’t believe everything they are told. Please change your name to Basket of Sheep.
There have been a number of black on Asian attacks in the west.
They say he considered it...
It would appear he carried a lot of religious guilt over his sexual compulsion
That’s just part of his issues
Plenty folks have sexual guilt especially women of my generation
Few become mass murderers of sex workers....
Although history is replete with folks who killed over sexual angst
Both sexes
Ripper
That cra cra woman...on 75 in Florida
