Atlanta Shooting May Be a Hate Crime

Social media posts circulated a claim that the Atlanta shooter who killed eight people, six of whom were Asian women, was not racially motivated. Posts say that it is not a hate crime, but a result of his sex addiction since the women all worked at massage parlors. Posts add that the murders do not fit the profile of a hate crime. Some users added that this is a media spin to use race as a “bait.”
