They have a GoFundMe. She was a single mom to two boys. I think many of the victims have GoFundMe pages.
Maybe more accurate statements as 'facts'?
[QUOTE=ILoveHo;5263492]1. There is a eyewitness in gold spa saying the murderer was yelling that he wants to kill all Asians. Isn't it a hate crime?[/QUOTE]1. There is REPORTEDLY an eyewitness in gold spa saying the murderer was yelling that he wants to kill all Asians. Isn't it a hate crime? If true, then yes. But I prefer to wait to see what comes out in court through the legal process and not the Atlanta Jurinal Constipation.
[QUOTE=ILoveHo;5263492]2. All 3 parlors are Asian businesses, isn't it a hate crime?[/QUOTE]2. All 3 parlors are Asian businesses, isn't it a hate crime? No more than being mad at getting fat from eating donuts and shooting up a bunch of Dunkin Donuts shops, which are predominantly Middle-Eastern owned, would be a hate crime.
[QUOTE=ILoveHo;5263492]3. The fact that he kills so many people, and wounded one that just came out of another store, isn't he guilty of terrorist acts?[/QUOTE]Only because we have changed the true definition of Terrorism to mean anything the liberals wants it to. Mass murder is not by definition terrorism.
[QUOTE=ILoveHo;5263492]4. For those that thinks those are immoral places he invaded, there are no records of any arrests in Youngs massage. I don't know the other two.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=ILoveHo;5263492]5. I think the society thinks that because the victims are mostly Asians, it is not that bad. We have a lot of sick people around here. Can you imagine if the victims are blacks?[/QUOTE]No, it is just that more people are getting tired of all violence committed by white people against people of color being falsely branded as racial hate. Often, it has absolutely nothing to do with race or any of the other 'protected' minority definitions. Folks are getting fed up with it. This appears, from the information released by authorities, is just a young man who snapped and went on a shooting spree. It is coincidental that the 3 establishments which he had reportedly visited previously were Asian owned and operate.
[QUOTE=ILoveHo;5263492]6. I have to pay tribute to Biden and Harris for paying tributes to the victims. I did not vote for them. But at least they care more about people that Trump.[/QUOTE]I have no problem with paying tribute to the dead and their families, President Trump also did that on several occasions. I have problems with him, like Obama on many occasions, perpetuating a false premise without waiting for the facts. Great Leaders want the absolute facts from the proper and reliable sources and not the sensationalizing headlines.
After stumbling 3 times going up Air Force One, tough Joe didn't even scuff his knees
How ever, Kamala didn't fall and both of her knees are scuffed. Who can explain that?
I moved this here for a good reason

You say "prostitution attracts the criminal element including human sex trafficking" and you're so close but just shy of the mark, you just needed to add one more word and you had it.
[red]Criminalizing[/red] prostitution attracts the criminal element including human sex trafficking. Prostitution doesn't do it, putting it into back alleys is what does it. There are no criminal elements and no sex trafficking happening in FKK's.
Here is an excellent article where Amnesty International explains it
[url]https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2015/08/sex-workers-rights-are-human-rights[/url]
The key section being [quote]We have chosen to advocate for the decriminalization of all aspects of consensual adult sex - sex work that does not involve coercion, exploitation or abuse. This is based on evidence and the real-life experience of sex workers themselves that criminalization makes them less safe.[/quote]
There is empirical evidence for this in the States as well. Rhode Island accidentally de criminalized home based prostitution and when they did rape dropped to nearly zero

Just like drugs, it's not the drugs that causes the criminality, it's criminalizing the use, exactly like prohibition in the 30's, you criminalize something and crime moves in.
It's long past time to break the puritanical lock on American society and decriminalize both.

Soft target vs hard target
Never been to club platinum (yet) but have been to follies and live at both places I observed heavily armed security personnel at door. I would much rather take my chance of not getting shot at local Asian massage place vs urban strip club. I am assuming that their are a few shot guns in the office and a few other guns floating around the club (staff and customers) it a mostly cash business. The massage place not so much. The suspect was taken into custody with out incident (minus a minor po lice chase) he would. Have folded at any confrontation at a strip club big angry urban dudes = scary. 50 year old plus Asian chicks= no scary.
