Democrats said Sunday that the shootings last week at spas in Atlanta, which left eight people dead, six of whom were Asian American, were hate crimes that demanded federal charges.
"We all know hate when we see it," Sen. Raphael Warnock said.
The shootings stirred up increased fear and anger in Asian American communities at a time when anti-Asian American hate incidents have spiked during the coronavirus pandemic. Democrats, local officials and community advocates have pushed law enforcement agencies to characterize the killings as a hate crime.
Speaking in Atlanta last week, President Biden said many Asian Americans have "been attacked, blamed, scapegoated and harassed" in recent months, adding, "Silence is complicity."
Robert Aaron Long, 21, a white man, was charged with eight counts of murder and homicide and one count of aggravated assault. Authorities have alleged that he said the attacks were not racially motivated, because, he is alleged to have told investigators, he has a "sex addiction" and he saw the spas as "a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate."
Investigators had yet to find concrete evidence that would be enough to build a federal hate crime case against Long.
Warnock said the incident is cause to renew efforts to pass gun reforms nationwide.
"This shooter was able to kill all of these folks the same day he purchased a firearm," he said. "But right now, what is our Legislature doing? They're busy under the Gold Dome here in Georgia trying to prevent people from being able to vote the same day they register."

Yes, the Democrat Party: The Party of Hate.
Not hate when teens do it though. Teens have zero animosity against any group perceived as successful
Yeah that’s the Communist Party, the party of hate..what they are doing here is deliberate..see the Democrat party is bleeding voters from all race groups..and asians primarily vote Republican, so what the left is hoping, by accusing Republicans of wanting to kill Asians, is trying to get Asians into the Dem party flock
Every time I turn on the TV, all I see is hatred by the crap rolling out of the Hollywood hills.
And it normally comes from Democrats
Democrat attempts for opportunistic gain from these deaths is hate.
Warnock’s election was a Hate Crime.
Has there been any increase of attacks on Asians or just an increase in reporting it?
Isn’t Warnock the racist bitch squatting in a stolen Senate seat that wants to kill all the honkies? Senator Genocide?
They are trying so hard to spin this into a racial incident. Apparently the Asians aren’t yet fully on board with the hate-whitey thing. A nut shot some hookers. That’s what happened.
Yep, deplorables recognize hate when they see it too.
They don’t need no Fing evidence.
Were the Asian sex workers Asian Americans or illegals trafficked and forced to work in these massage parlors? Asking for a friend.
You mean they know a frame job when they see one.
Like the phony “Gentle Giant” who tried to beat Officer Darren Wilson to death with his bare hands after strong-arming a small Indian cigar store clerk.
The white people of the US are not guilty of systemic anti-Asian racism. This won’t wash. Maybe this lie is part of why the troops are still on guard in DC-—for civil war. With instigation and prodding by slander.
BINGO!
yepp. The kkkraps is the party that forced Japanese from their homes during WW2 and into camps. The same party that denies Asian Americans today from admissions at selective universities and fought it through the courts.
Conclusion - white republicans and conservatives are racist. I believe it, sure.
“This shooter was able to kill all of these folks the same day he purchased a firearm,” he said. “But right now, what is our Legislature doing? They’re busy under the Gold Dome here in Georgia trying to prevent people from being able to vote the same day they register.”
