Earlier on Tuesday, two people were killed at a massage parlor in Cherokee County due north of the city, with a further three injured.

The shootings happened at Young’s Asian Massage parlor off Bells Ferry Road and Highway 92 in Acworth, Georgia about 30 miles north of Atlanta.

It appears that all five victims were shot inside the business.

Cherokee County Sheriff´s Office spokesman Jay Baker confirmed the deaths and said three people have been transported to hospitals for treatment. Their conditions were not immediately available.

The suspect was captured by surveillance video pulling up to the business around 4:50pm, just minutes before the shooting.

Officials are now looking for a suspect in a black Hyundai SUV.

The sheriff's office posted surveillance pictures on its Facebook page, asking people to share the images that show the man near the vehicle. They described the man as a suspect, and asked that anyone who recognizes him or the vehicle call 911.

It is not yet known whether the shootings are connected.

If that site didn't glow before, it sure as fuck does now. Lol

That site's been around for at least 20 years. If the cops wanted to shut down all the massage parlors, they could raid them any time. There's ads, there's sites like Rubmaps where people post reviews. It's not hard to figure out which places are offering more than a massage.

However, the parlors try to operate quietly and not draw attention to themselves, so they just keep humming along. The only time one got shut down permanently was when was open 24 hours and the patrons were causing commotion all hours of the night and bothered some people living nearby. I think cause the parlors keep things low key and pay more attention to hygiene and condoms than the average streetwalker, the cops don't really care. They've got bigger fish to fry.

The Root not even trying to hide they're just the black version of The Daily Stormer.

Does this mean the white victims also suffered from the public health crisis of whiteness?

There's literally a book called Dying of Whiteness, which is literally "give up everything, whitey, it's for your own good".

This guy is a cumbrained dumbass for sure. But that's not what is aggravating me about this one. It's the fucking MSM going into overdrive trying to racebait this event and pin it on wypipo even though the perp already fucking confessed and didn't admit to a motive of racism. Twitter sure as shit is exacerbating the issue with their current top trend and it's going to permeate the normiesphere all week.

You know what? Fuck it. If this leads to a bunch of cultural infighting between both woke factions of blacks and asians that they both end each others' victimhood grifts, the world will be better off.

They could easily get normal white people on their side and then they pull this. It is hilarious.

That happened last year with Our Lord and Savior George Floyd. The entire country condemned Derek Chavin until the rioting and looting started. Then they lost all credibility.

That would be the funniest thing on earth. I would love for Jap's to be like "Uh - We were in actual prison camps while you were still free citizens. We deserve reparations more than you." and have the great grift-off begin in full.

Ask any real black person if they would rather live in a white hood or a black hood. The answer might surprise you.

Funny thing is that the Japanese-Americans did get reparations in the 80s.

Also someone thought of that black-asian grift-off idea already, with totally unsurprising results.

If I were black and I believed this I would just commit suicide. There's no point to living if your life is really infested with that much rayyycism etc.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms took issue with the way authorities described the possible motive of the suspect in the Tuesday evening killings of eight people at three spa locations.

The mayor countered the depiction used by Capt. Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department shortly after he pointed to suspect Robert Aaron Long’s assertion that “sexual addiction” rather than racism toward Asian Americans was behind his shooting rampage.

“We are not about to get into victim blaming, victim shaming, here,” Bottoms said at a Wednesday news conference, adding, “We don’t know additional information about what his motives were. We will not begin to blame victims, and as far as we know in Atlanta these are legally operating businesses that have not been on our radar, the radar of [the Atlanta Police Department].”

Earlier at the news conference, Baker drew scrutiny for his matter-of-fact description of Long’s mindset.

“He was pretty much fed up and kind of at the end of his rope and yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did,” Baker said, adding that the businesses were seen by Long as “a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate.”

Long, 21, was arrested Tuesday evening. Six of the eight victims were Asian women, but Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said Wednesday morning that it was too early to call the murders a hate crime. The killings come amid an increased focus on violence against Asian American communities, and the FBI is involved in the investigation.

On Wednesday afternoon, Long was charged with murder and assault.

The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department said that Long confessed to the crimes and that he was apprehended after his family assisted law enforcement. Officials stated that Long told them he viewed the spas as a sexual outlet, but it is not yet known whether he had visited any or all of the three establishments prior to his attack, or if any of those establishments had ties to the sex industry.

Officials said they believe that when they apprehended Long he was heading to Florida to commit further violence, suggesting he was planning to target “some type of porn industry” business. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Long purchased a gun used in the killings on Tuesday just hours before the shooting.

Police responded to the report of a robbery in Acworth, a suburb of Atlanta, just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday. They found four people dead and one injured at Young’s Asian Massage. An hour later they responded to reports of a robbery at Gold Spa in northeast Atlanta. Three women were found dead there, along with another victim at Aromatherapy Spa across the street.

Authorities released names of four of the victims: Ashley Yaun, 33; Paul Andre Michels, 54; Xiaojie Yan, 49; and Daoyou Feng, 44.

“That the Asian women murdered yesterday were working highly vulnerable and low-wage jobs during an ongoing pandemic speaks directly to the compounding impacts of misogyny, structural violence and white supremacy,” said Phi Nguyen, a litigation director at Asian Americans Advancing Justice, in a statement.

“While authorities are still investigating the motive in these attacks and whether or not they were anti-Asian in nature, we already know that too many within the AAPI [Asian American/Pacific Islander] community fear every day for themselves and their loved ones as a result of the spate of attacks over the past year,” the Southern Poverty Law Center said in a statement. “We all must call on elected officials to take steps to counter anti-Asian hate and other extremist or hateful ideology. And law enforcement at every level, along with social media companies, must work together to help intercept and combat this growing threat.”

Is the mayor just pretending that these kinds of massage parlors aren't well known for being prostitution fronts? I have been to several real spas (in fact I have been fed up trying to find places to get a massage that weren't rub'n'tugs or gay hook up spots before.) Any place that advertises shit like "table showers" is going to try to get to your sausage.
