Former Assistant FBI Director for Counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi says while authorities investigate the motives in the Atlanta shootings, gender may also play a role and could be a protected class that may apply as a state or federal hate crime. Georgia authorities told reporters the suspect may have had a sexual addiction and targeted the spas. Aired on 03/17/2021.

FBI Expert: Atlanta Shootings Could Be Hate Crime Against Women | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
Oh please, this is a double whammy, racist, misogyny.
@Bat Boy *Not as simple as that i think. He may have or have had a girlfriend but it’s his “performance” that’s making him frustrated — and dangerous.*
we are all one race the human race! anyone who tries to break it down by race is simply race baiting (the media every day for views)
@Wahyu Indrasto i think you whacked the nail on the head
@Wahyu Indrasto – I said, the Santa Barbara shooter couldn’t get a girlfriend. You know how to read, correct?
@Wahyu Indrasto – By the way, why bring up his “performance” in bed? Are you having difficulty? Let me know, I’m here for you incel. 😀
10 bucks he voted for Trump.
20 bucks he voted for biden
@Bill Astell , what has Trump got to do with it?
@Rob Bow can you show at least one penny that Trump stole?
If you are so sure he voted for Trump why not up the ante?
Is 10 bucks all you can afford?
@Rob Bow, Trump got 1 dollar a year salary. Which part of it did he steal from you assuming you paid your taxes? By the way Biden will be raising your taxes as if gas prices are not high enough already.
Well, it sure sounds like a hate crime to me.
You are too naive to not be 100% sure about it.
This was one sick and twisted individual. Taking the lives of those women was he way of exorcizing his own internal demons.
Exorcizing or channelinh his demons?
@Bill Astell , he has the mind of blm and the body of Antifa.
@Tiger lily55 Ocean waves, l am from lran. We own you.
@Tarek ldim Suklai You’d better get do some research. You’ve got it sooo… wrong.
He hates asians thats it
This all sounds like they’re trying to find reasons/excuses for his violence. I don’t care if he had a bad day or if he’s an incel. Lock him up and throw away the key.
Motivation is a strong factor in sentencing.
Need the testimony of the survivors, i dont trust amerikkkas law enforcement
Oh so now we’re going with addiction!! It’s a HATE CRIME plain and simple. If not a Hate for a particular race, then Hate for Women! I’m sure in days to come, we’ll hear the “mental health” theory floating around also. 🙄
Lucky (not in the happy way) for him he is white…
Mental health IS an issue. It doesn’t excuse bad behavior tho.
Evette Walker
And, don’t you find it odd that they are slow/ reluctant to calling this a hate crime? Just think if he were black?
No such thing as hate crime. If you call it hate crime instead of plain murder then he gets off in less than 12 years.
No one just shoots up a Asian massage parlor the hate of the last administration is still here
@jones, hi Jones you antifa?
@Tarek ldim Suklai wrong.
@Tarek ldim Suklai ah, everyone should be antifascist everywhere in the world. Or are you another one who has no idea what fascism is. Educate yourself, google fascism, adolph hitler and musolini “il duce” and educate yourself. Fascist would gassed you immediately because theyre racist totalitarianism. Wouldve gassed me too.
@esam 65, what is?
@esam 65 ,
I wonder how many maga rallies that guy attended? 🤔
Doesn’t matter, the first one loosened the nut.
@Anonymous lool!!!!
It can be both misogyny and racism, you know?
This! Exactly this! That’s what I was thinking the whole time.
Hate crime against women who are…”incidentally” Asians?
Exactly.
If only you had laws that could keep guns off the hands of psychos.. Ah well, one can dream.
if weed is illegal that doesn’t mean drug addicts aren’t going to be able to find ways to buy weed illegally
From the makers of ” a mentally disturbed individual ” comes a a brand new one… behold … “sexually addicted individual!” .
😒😒😒😒
Sexually addicted. Does this mean Cuomo like? Master swabmaster
FBI take notice of how these southern cop’s gave this Guy his motive? Hmm.
White men do have a Asian fetish
@Kevin is Nice
This includes racist white men. Notice, they won’t label this as a hate crime.
Behold, we were seeing a shooter who is misogynistic and racist.
Since when are the authorities so quick to tell us simpletons what it’s all about. Trust nothing you hear.
Sounds like an incel to me. On the other hand, you’d think the last person an incel would shoot would be a woman who is actually available to him (albeit for a fee). Of course, you can’t expect logic from that type of person.
2nd Amendment: continuing to bring peace and security to USA.
If he was a frequent flier at these places with “happy ending”, it could be an incel revenge mission with a side of racism and misogyny.
Georgia has the Death sentence I believe?🤔
If so, he screwed no matter.
