A sheriff’s deputy in Georgia who has been a main conduit for information about the deadly rampage at three Atlanta-area massage businesses faced criticism on Wednesday for saying that Tuesday “was a really bad day” for the suspect, and for an anti-Asian Facebook post that he made last year.
At a news conference, the deputy, Captain Jay Baker, the spokesman for the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, discussed the frame of mind of the man charged with eight counts of murder in Tuesday’s shootings. He said that the suspect, Robert Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock, Ga., had understood the gravity of his actions when he was interviewed by investigators on Wednesday morning.

All the cop is saying is that the guy went postal.
Bad day was a poor choice of words, especially when there are people that are dead.
For anyone not reading the article the anti-Asian posts were about Trump and a T-shirt that said Chyna virus. This whole article is ridiculous and anticop made to stoke tempers.
Yes, poor choice of words, but nothing to be fired over. Certainly the comment was not meant to excuse murder.
I don’t think he will get fired.
CBS national news was breathlessly reporting about a white guy killing Asians. They desperately want this is be an anti asian attack that proves that white people are evil. In the mean time inner city blacks murder each other daily and not a peep.
Turns out it was about some other “services” offered by asian nail parlors.
This whole Cancel Culture nonsense is out of control. Between this and government ordered masks and shutdowns, the IDIOTS among us have totally destroyed civil liberty WORLDWIDE.
thank you for outing the usual lies of the evil Left wing
demon propaganda sheet
Took one for the team and read the article..well some of the article.
“For anyone not reading the article the anti-Asian posts were about Trump and a T-shirt that said Chyna virus. This whole article is ridiculous and anticop made to stoke tempers.”
Thanks.
In other words he didn’t say anything anti-Asian. The New York Times lies, as per usual.
