Intrigue? In Canada?

*shifts glasses down bridge of nose*

Wisconsin mall?

Something going on:

Welp, at least we had a brief run without mass shootings.

five shot, two dead outside a pittsburgh strip club

shooting + bomb(s) at a health clinic in minnesota

https://www.startribune.com/gunfire-at-clinic-in-wright-county-leaves-several-seriously-wounded/600020966

love to live in a country where there's a whole list of possible reasons someone might shoot up and bomb a clinic

Mookie, can you C&P three paras from that Strib story? Paywall.

Not paywalled for me.

Gunshots erupted at a health clinic in Wright County late Tuesday morning followed by a bomb exploding, and at least five people were reported to be wounded by the gunfire.

The scene is the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo on Crossroads Campus Drive, according to police, who were called there about 10:55 a.m.

Up to five people are said to be wounded, and a male suspect has been detained, according to emergency dispatch audio.

A female with three gunshot wounds was taken by air ambulance to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where two others also were transported, emergency medical personnel were heard saying on dispatch audio. Two others were taken to Allina-operated Buffalo Hospital, the audio continued.

About 30 minutes later, a bomb went off in the family medicine and urgent care clinic, the dispatch audio revealed. That explosion forced responding emergency medical personnel to relocate, the audio continued.

"We just had a bomb go off in the clinic," dispatch audio disclosed. "They're evacuating the clinic parking lot, so we're going to go stage back at the child-care center we originally staged at."

A spokesman for the full Allina Health system was heading to the scene early Tuesday afternoon to assess the situation and possibly disclose further details.

"He wouldn't even cuss."

"decent people" in 2021 still judging the moral character of murdering shitheads from their hesitancy in using swears, they are culpable here too

At a news conference, a law enforcement official says early indications are that Atlanta-area mass shooter Robert Aaron Long may have been motivated by issues stemming from "sexual addiction," not racism -- but he cautions that the investigation is in an early stage pic.twitter.com/jCyDGyZxQ7

this fucking shit again !!

this crime is also being discussed here: Rolling Race 2021 fwiw

did they give this fucker some McDonalds because he really wanted a Big Mac too? FFS

oh ok

but, i mean, this is a legit place to disuss it, too!

cops do have that curious empathy for white dudes who kill nonwhite people...

it is a mystery

JFC... horrible.

I think it's quite possible to be both a 'sex addict' and a racist, they're not mutually exclusive.

i mean if you exclusively frequent Asian massage parlors to give vent to your sex addiction, and then kill Asian massage workers to control your sex addiction--just because it's racist and misogynist simultaneously doesn't make it not racist!

Agreed

sorry, socialists - it's neither a racist or misogynistic crime. it's a sacrilegious crime against the will and intent of His Word.

white evangelicals are fucking creeps imo

the term "creeping Jesus" was invented for a reason

ha, i've never heard of that! reminds me of how jesus referred to Pharisees in the parables

between this and "it wasn't terrorism, he was only trying to kill himself...with a bomb...that was on a street where tons of people were walking by/living", it's a wonder why white ring terrorism is still thriving in 2021.

'he was addicted to sex and felt guilty due to his Fundamentalist upbringing' describes every Fundamentalist ever, most of whom are not spree shooters. try again fuckholes.

so goddamn ridiculous.

The fact that he used to have sex with asian massage workers makes the fact that he targeted them for murder worse, not better

Despising the object of your attraction is the most misogynistic thing you can do.

Apparently the alleged shooter wanted to “eliminate the temptation” by removing the massage parlors, which provided an outlet for his addiction, according to police. Atlanta police Captain Jay Baker said the shooter had been interviewed by police.

These are human beings you fucking shithead.

I agree with everyone saying the framing of this seems weirdly exculpatory, when really it’s just a double hate crime against women and people of asian descent.

Here is some collection of reporting from the Korean media on the Atlanta shooting ->

This is fucked.

Trump said "china virus" in his Fox News interview, last night, just a bit before this happened. Not saying that's directly connected to last night, obviously, more that Trump and his ilk have been preaching anti-Asia hysteria since at least the late 80s.

No one could have foreseen this:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/17/racist-extremists-us-domestic-terrorism-intelligence-report

fair warning: seems like no one can find the original source for the "i'm going to kill all asians" quote above.

this seems bad:

New: The sheriff's official who said the Atlanta spa shooter had "a bad day" shared an image of T-shirts that said "Covid 19 IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA" on Facebook.

After @BuzzFeedNews asked about the shirt, the public post became unavailable.https://t.co/qrAsmm2Pgk

Wonder if that guy has ever been involved with the arrest of an asian person? might be a good time to file a class action lawsuit

(i'm guessing you can't do that, otherwise there would be millions of class action lawsuits related to racist cops)

not a class action and i'd be surprised if anything comes of it, but there's this

UPDATE: According to the LAPD, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office will be reviewing 370 cases handled by John Motto, the retired LAPD officer seen on video using the n-word this weekend, following our reporting.@LATACO https://t.co/i6cemRQPS7

Defund the Police is a little too nice of a slogan imo

Dissect the police

Satanize the police

NPR just reported that investigators are still unsure whether the Atlanta area shootings constitute hate crimes.

Yes, they're hate crimes... either against Asians or women or a combination of the two... maybe even some self-hatred. But I wish they'd stop floating this "removing temptation" story, let his public defender employ that bullshit.

Yeah killing women to “remove temptation” is a hate crime against women at least
