Schools are closed, gyms are closed, hair salons are closed, but massage parlors are open?

Just last week they were trying to convince everyone that there's a rash of racist crimes against Asian peoole.......
Now all the sudden we have an Asian targeted mass shooting?
The first Mads shooting in HOW LONG?????
Anyone else's alarm bells going off......
He even looks like a Trump voter, the same demographic they were trying to pin the Asian race violence on.....despite that the majority committing those crimes weren't white males......
Now this...

I'm expecting that his social media will be found within 24 hours... in all the most likely places. My only question is what triggered him now.

Damn Sookie might as well pull a Biden and say all real Indians work at Dairy Queen or 7/11, all the Mexicans work landscape or farm and poultry plants.
Not comparable.
I never said anything like all Asians engage in human trafficking.
But, Asian massage parlors are, as poster Edumacated put it, notorious for prostitution. I don't know about Atlanta, but in Hawaii, where I spent 30 years, they were. Not to mention the gambling, loan sharking and drug dealing that went on.
Just cause Edumacated believes the same biased stuff doesn't make it true, hell I know if it was an area I didn't know I'd be likely saying the same thing. They busted a prostitution ring down the road a bit in Marietta but it's huge and sleazy in a lot of places compared to Acworth.
Painting with a broad semi-racist brush there, As I mentioned the first place was in Acworth I know Acworth and while it, of course, is possible I doubt it, that's not some sleazy shopping center in a crappy area. Again the ones in Atlanta on Piedmont Ave it is highly likely.
Familiar with Acworth. I was born and raised in Atlanta.
Like I said, it is widely known that Asian massage parlors are often fronts for prostitution rings. I live in a very wealthy town outside of Chicago now. We had three busts that I am familiar with... a town of about 65,000 people.
The fact of the matter is you are probably an upstanding citizen and sound a little sheltered so it isn't something you'd look for. No, not all Asian massage parlors engage in illicit sexual acts, but enough of them do for anyone who is reasonable street smart knows it is a thing.
Again Acworth isn't Atlanta my friend, I was there many times before last year, pretty sure I've been to the shopping center we used to have a client in the area as well as I have mentioned I have relatives from there too again not Atlanta Acworth.
That said I have worked and lived all over the Metro Atlanta area and have been roaming here since the late '70s. From Bankhead Hway to University Ave College Park hell where my other jobs didn't take me by courier and/or pest control jobs did. I've been to some decidedly seedy places both working and leisure.
I know exactly where he was on Piedmont Avenue and Cheshire Bridge Road we had a store in the area. Every retail space there has buzzers to let people in and has had them since the '80s and '90s. We used to sell our samples to a store on Piedmont Asian gentlemen and would sell them to the transvestites and strippers. Got stories about that too...
Buford Highway is some areas that have had a renaissance and are now okay but in others, it's nothing but sketchy places. Jimmy Carter Blvd is full of them.
Not to mention think for a moment if the massage parlor was run by "organized crime" or even someone shady they would have been armed themselves? Yet this 21 old preacher's som got the drop on them all. Come on man..

Here's a Google street view image. I've passed it a million times and never really noticed it.

Of course, all this could be mostly eliminated if prostitution were just legal, but that is another topic.

That solves part of the problem but many of these girls/women are trafficked.

Yes, but legalization makes trafficking much less profitable, particularly for illicit acts.
The only way I want to know what's on his mind is if someone cracks his skull open with a framing hammer.

If this is a planned gun control false flag, it's by far the cleverest and most creative.
But inside sources close to the investigations are saying the shooter was watching a politically motivated news program and something somebody said "rubbed him the wrong way" and he went berserk !! š
