A man named Robert Aaron Long has apparently confessed to carrying out a mass shooting in the Atlanta area Tuesday night. Eight people were killed at three different massage parlors, six of them Asian women.

The identity of the victims naturally led to speculation that there was a racial motivation for the murders. But in a press conference Wednesday, Cherokee County sheriff's captain Jay Baker tried to downplay that possibility. He repeated Long's claim that the murder spree "was not racially motivated," and instead that it was about his supposed sex addiction. He "sees these locations as … a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate," Baker said. Sounding almost like a defense attorney, Baker also said Long "understood the gravity of it … yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did."....

2. Poor little incel. Did they give boo boo a hug when they busted him?

3. Aw, yesterday he just

woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

4. Allegedly, an employee witness at the Gold Spa told neighboring Korean businesses

that the suspect said, "he was going to kill all the Asians" at the time of the crime. It is quite strange but not surprising.

This is being reported widely by two major South Korean news organizations while Americans debate about the motives.

5. It isn't as if he killed nine people. There is no violin small enough to play for him ...

... Eight women who had family all over Asia, who may have had forged identity, may have been trafficked, may have been in some sort of slavery.

It is heartbreaking. The idiot "had a bad day"? That's obscene.

6. I love Georgia

But that sheriff can go take a long walk on a short pier.

A bad day...I had my share and remarkably managed not to kill one person let alone 8.

I have heard better excuses from a 3 year old.
