The Atlanta Murders Are The Latest In A Disturbing Increase In Anti-Asian Violence.
The murders in Atlanta are part of the growing problem of anti Asian violence in America. (The Hill)
“Cherokee County police responded to reports of a shooting at Young’s Asian Massage in Acworth, a northern Atlanta suburb, around 5 p.m. local time Tuesday evening, where they found five people with gunshot wounds. Two were dead at the scene. The other three people were transported to a local hospital, where two of them died.
Roughly an hour later and 30 miles away, Atlanta police received reports of a robbery at Gold Massage Spa in northeast Atlanta. There, three more people were found shot to death. Across the street at Aromatherapy Spa, another person was found fatally shot.”
Hate crimes exploded under the Trump Administration’s tacit support for overt racism and and the violence that automatically comes with said endorsements. Unfortunately, the brutal hate that is tearing the country continues to spread like a cancer into every facet of society and shows no signs of abating. Fortunately, the Biden Administration is now refreshingly anti-racism and will do everything in its power to curb the violence and bigotry that became commonplace for the last 4 years.
