"Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, the day after eight people were murdered at three Atlanta-area massage parlors, Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County sheriff’s office appeared to have made up his mind. Even though Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant had just cautioned that it was too early to establish a motive, Baker told gathered journalists that Robert Aaron Long, the alleged perpetrator of the grotesque crime, had “an issue with porn” and “was attempting to take out that temptation.” Long, he added, appeared to be “lashing out” and had told investigators that the killings had nothing to do with race despite the fact that six of the victims were Asian women."

I'd like to meet #RafiaZakaria someday, so I can explain to her, in person, why she's an ignorant cunt.

No criticism on the merits?

@WilyRickWiles OK, OK ... Zakaria is reading too much into Captain Baker's statement. He's simply stating preliminary information about the suspect - had “an issue with porn” and “was attempting to take out that temptation.” I certainly didn't read that as Baker rationalizing the shootings, but Zakaria did. White Supremacy Derangement Syndrome (WSDS), I suppose; to infer bigotry from otherwise innocuous statements (see ItsOkayToBeWhite ).

here was a white man, who not unlike the slave-owners of Georgia past, felt entitled to have his sexual needs met by some of the most vulnerable women in American society

I'm pretty sure the massage workers weren't slaves and were performing their services voluntarily.

law enforcement’s refusal to deploy the word “terror” and “terrorist” when the terrorized are not white—and the perpetrator is—is crucial in understanding this case

The FBI defines domestic terrorism as, "Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature." I suppose the suspect meets the criteria to be labeled a terrorist, so Zakaria has a point. However, I doubt she defines criminal acts committed by Leftists and/or left-wing groups to further ideological goals as terrorism, which makes her a hypocrite.

[slave patrols were the] “forerunners of modern American law enforcement.”

Slave patrols had a law enforcement role, but law enforcement in general has much broader roots than being solely derived from slave patrols.

This history can in turn be connected to the history of Asian exclusion in the United States

I feel like this article has less to do with the shooting as it does serving as Zakaria's soapbox to give her audience a call to arms via a short history on racism against Asians in the US that has little to nothing to do with the shooting.

Immigration laws ensure their powerlessness by using the threat of deportation to negate the rights that would make them safer, while local law enforcement, in their zealotry to enforce anti-prostitution laws, add to their sense of daily danger

See, like this is an attack on immigration laws. It has nothing to do with the shooting. Zakaria just got done comparing these sex workers to slaves, now she admits they're migrants who want to be here (a desire threatened by immigration law). I agree prostitution laws are BS, but again, no one's forcing these women to be sex workers. Not #WhiteSupremacists anyway.

The lurid killing that took place on Tuesday evening was a terrorist act

I'll buy that.

that occurred in a society that accepts racist hatred and misogyny among random armed gunmen as well as among police forces

I mean, I do, but I don't think society in general does.

The Asian woman as target is created by an intersectional collusion of hatreds

Here's where she explains it's all about intersectionality.

a government whose immigration regulations are still tainted by their original intent of Asian exclusion

Bullshit. Our immigration regulations are responsible for a noticeable change in ethnic composition in our country in just 50 years. Just because they don't let everyone in who wants in doesn't mean it's anything akin to the Asian Exclusion Acts.

law enforcement officers who exert one kind of domination on their bodies, and then white supremacist terrorist killers who exert another

Yes, prostitution laws suck, but to my knowledge this is the first mass murder of Asian whores by a White guy.

In short, way too much hyperbole for me to take this article seriously. This isn't journalism, it's propaganda.

Also, Asians are racist af. I can't wait until based Asian Supremacists put Zakaria on a boat back to Paki-land.

What a ridiculous article. The author is doing exactly what she accused the police of doing. These "authors" from the left obviously skipped logic or any other class that would have taught them how to reason.

Her logical fallacy Begging the Question.

"A form of circular reasoning, begging the question is one of the most common types of fallacies. It occurs when the premises that are meant to support an argument already assume that the conclusion is true. If you start from a place where the conclusion being argued is already assumed true, then you’re not really making an argument at all. There is no supporting evidence."

I know that you are often just trolling but I'm also pretty sure you think it is clever, it's not.
