America - Guns & Mass Shootings
A 21 year old bloke murdered 8 people yesterday in two Spas/massage parlours, six of them Asian American.
The police arrested the bloke as he was on his way to Florida possibly to commit more shootings.
The police Captain described the shooter as being "fed up" and "having a bad day" which hasn't gone down well.
The shooter said he is a sex addict so he shot the people to wipe out temptation. He's a devout Christian apparently.
This has come after a year of rising attacks on Asian Americans, not helped by Covid. And the policeman who said the "fed up" comments bought a t-shirt & commented on some anti Asian stuff online so that's stoked the fire as well somewhat.

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
Not really sure why this is more newsworthy than any other "American nutter with gun goes on shooting spree" story?
Isn't it pretty much what people with easy access to guns often do over there?

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
Looking as though the extreme religious teachings of his church were at play for his attitudes towards sex and have eventually driven him to kill 7 innocent women.
Is it time we accept that Christianity has no place in western society? Also, where was the christian community in all of this? We need to talk about their complicity in this and why they didn't do more to stop him.

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
No sky pixie worshipping has a place in a modern society, but the over riding issue here, along with a lot of things that happen in the US is how easy it was for an angry young man to get ahold of a gun to vent his frustration.Danny's Dyer Acting wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 7:46 am Is it time we accept that Christianity has no place in western society?

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
Yes definitely. The Christian's are like many other religious types with their holier than thou attitude, the turn-a-blind-eye pixie worshipping nutters are a danger to normal people.Danny's Dyer Acting wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 7:46 am Looking as though the extreme religious teachings of his church were at play for his attitudes towards sex and have eventually driven him to kill 7 innocent women.

If last few comments were aimed at Muslims that would possibly be deemed a hate crime.

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
There are plenty of Christians who DO NOT think that is acceptable to do what he has done. I think some are mixing Christianity with some of the right wing fundamentals we see in USA.
But oh well throw them to the lions. The Romans did.

Although maybe we should ban all immigration from Christian countries until we can work out what's going on.

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
I'd certainly back banning all immigration from the USA.
Everything toxic in the world seems to be eminating out of that country at the moment.

Re: Atlanta Spa Shootings
This has nothing to do with Christians or Muslims, but it does have everything to do with facial hair. A quick look at history tells us it's those with face fur that do the most harm, Stalin, Hitler, Rolf Harris, Angela Merkel, Bin Laden, the list goes on..........
