				Atlanta Spa shooting
			 
 Is there any evidence that the motive for the shooting was racial? |

 |  So the employee who said they heard the shooter yell “I’m going to kill all Asians” doesn’t count? |

If true, and there are no other words left out of the quote, that surely would be evidence.  Historically, there are several erroneous or false allegations of seeing and/or hearing someone, such as the "hands up, don't shoot" lie.
 
Two of the victims were not Asian.
 
A full and thorough investigation should be made before making accusations that stoke more interracial tensions and more fear in Asian Americans. |

 |  Are you implying that if it's on YouTube it's not true?  Does that apply to the various YouTube videos that you've posted?  That only the leftist, Progressive, or anti-Trump sources you use are true?  Or that Asian Canadians have no insight into attacks on Asians?
 
Or is this just another of your laziest of the lazy type of argument?
 
Laura Chen currently lives in the U.S.  She has lived in Hong Kong and Canada the birth places of her father and mother.  She is half Asian and half white. Shall we attack her credibility for those reasons?
 
The other YouTuber, Gothix, is Black.  She is American (U.S.).  Is she disqualified for those reason's?
 
They both not only expressed their opinions, they presented data to back them up.  Perhaps you could prove their data wrong.  Or, perhaps, you're just more comfortable with your leftist narrative. |

 |  Ahhh . . . the grand "solution" for society's ills that our self-serving political class bestows on us . . . a bill . . . that made me laugh.  It's good enough, of course, that he "signals support" for it.  He's established his creds, regardless of the outcome.  
 
The outcome, of course, will be that the "discrimination" against Asian Americans will cease with this bill.  (Although, I thought that the problem was rising "violence" against Asians, not merely "discrimination.")  But this bill will surely fix it (whatever the "it" is here).  Just as hate crime bills have stamped out hate . . . as laws have stamped out violence and murder and theft. Of course, none of those previous bills were good enough to protect Asians.  A bill specifically for Asians was necessary. 
 
But the mantra, I thought, was the problem of "white supremacist" violence against Asians.  Shouldn't the bill be aimed at white supremacists?  There doesn't seem to be an outcry from leftists about Black violence against Asians, even though there is more of that than there is white violence against Asians.  We're told by leftists that white supremacists are the problem.  Even though many Asians, as noted by the Asians posted on this thread, claim otherwise. 
 
Politics, from all sides, as usual.  Our problem is that we don't have enough bills.  The politicians, eventually, will get it right.  Right?
