Atlanta shooting suspect tells police attacks not racially motivated, was purportedly driven by sex addiction
Fox News ^ | 13 minutes ago 3/17/21 | Stephanie Pagones

Atlanta massage parlor shooting suspect Robert Aaron Long took "full responsibility" for the string of Tuesday night attacks that left eight people dead and another person injured, authorities said Wednesday.

Police officials said the events were not believed to have been racially motivated, and Long instead allegedly opened fire because he saw the locations as "an outlet for him" to succumb to purported sex-addiction temptations, police and officials said during a news conference.

Long, 21, was allegedly on his way to Florida at the time of his Tuesday night arrest and indicated he was potentially going "to carry out additional shootings," Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said at the news conference.

Officials stressed that the investigation is ongoing, with authorities not making an official determination as to the motive of the attacks at this time. They said the suspect may have a "sexual addiction" and it was too early in the investigation to say whether they were dealing with a hate crime.

According to police, Long claimed his attacks were not racially motivated, but rather sees the massage parlor locations as allowing him to feed "a temptation" that he was trying "to eliminate," police said.

Translation: “Mining this tragedy for some political capital isn’t going to be as easy as we initially hoped. We’ll have to redouble our efforts to blame Donald Trump and his supporters for this. To that end, we’re going to keep looking for the ‘real’ (more politically expedient) motive even though the suspect has already confessed.”

This guy has been painted by the media as the typical conservative and Trump supporter. What political bent are the usual sexual deviants, though?

Sorry, but the perpetrator does not get to determine if his or her actions were racially motivated.

Only the Left can make that determination...

Such addiction needs to be shared with President Clinton and the Epstein crew.

If the guy was not a murderer he could have qualified as a Dem president!

There is no political motive here some people in the media probably don’t want to be reminded that sex problems are real and they have deadly consequences.

Like so many religious people in the world this young man is a sex drunk.

The anti-religious people don’t like to consider the notion that one is sexually drunk because it would disturb the skeletons in their closets.

So lets find another motive like politics or mental health or something else.

He has the typical profile of a muslime terrorist. Religious zealot, obsessed with sex and feelings he can’t reconcile with his religion so he becomes violent thinking it will absolve him.
