It wouldn't be a first.8:27 p.m.Sheriff spokesperson who said suspect had ‘bad day’ posted racist shirt blaming China for covid-19The Georgia sheriff’s spokesman who said a man accused of killing eight people, including six women of Asian descent, had “a bad day” came under fire on Wednesday after reports of an anti-Asian T-shirt design posted on his Facebook page.
At a news conference, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jay Baker said that the alleged killer, Robert Aaron Long, told investigators he was not motivated by racism but rather his “sex addiction.”“Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did,” Baker said, comments that drew criticism online from people who said his remarks downplayed the fatal shootings.
After the news conference, Internet sleuths and journalists discovered Baker’s post, fueling discourse about bias in law enforcement. Concern about racism within police ranks has grown with an uptick in videos showing police brutality against Black Americans and racial justice protesters over the summer.
In March and April, Baker posted photos of a graphic shirt that blamed China for the coronavirus pandemic, an accusation that advocacy groups say has incited a surge in violence and prejudice against Asian Americans.
“Covid 19,” the shirt reads in a font resembling the logo of the Corona beer, “IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA.”Post edited by tbergs onIt's a hopeless situation...0 -

I will say this, do you know of any other ethnic group that constantly gets shut down for having "sex shops"? here in NY it is always Asian spas. One goes down and 1 goes up. Can't remember the last time I ever saw a "Turkish spa"?Merkin Baller said:

Throwing that in to the conversation ring only because I can see how it might not be racially motivated, but looking at it the optics aren't good.0 -
And well, domestic abusers should have access to firearms, right? Its the "responsible" thing to do because someone who hits their partner, certainly wouldn't shoot them, right? From NYT:
• The House voted to renew the Violence Against Women Act. Senate Republicans object to new provisions that would make it harder for domestic abusers to buy guns.

Once something gets written into law it is really hard to undo it and I'm pretty sure that is what the big picture is about. Shitty answer and not what you want to hear, I will look further into it.0 -

However, when it comes to buying guns there has to be a way to curtail the impulse buying. The depressed or the pissed off or need to rob a bank type of people need to have brakes put on their ability to walk into a store and walk out with a gun.
Or go to a gun show or any other legit means of purchasing a firearm.0 -

Impulse buying. I am going to ask how many crimes are committed from Impulse buying? As for a waiting period I don't have a problem but I would like to keep person to person sales legal.Bentleyspop said:

i would tend to agree. Most of these, I'd argue, are planned over the course of several days to weeks to months, depending on the incident. I don't know if I've heard of any of these mass shooting sprees that started with a guy walking into a gun shop and the same day the spree happens.tempo_n_groove said:

What about the super depressed person looking to end their own life? Maybe while there is a background check going on they rethink their decision.
Or the person pissed off at their boss or neighbor or wife/husband? Maybe the background check time. is a cool off time.
Or maybe the person just shouldn't be owning a gun and the background check alerts authorities.
A lot of guns end up in the wrong hands. I would like to think that well done background checks would alleviate some of that.

yes, I support back ground checks 100%. I just don't know how much impulse buying goes in these scenarios. sounds like something out of a movie. do people rob banks on impulse? Or just on horseback? do people rob banks anymore?Bentleyspop said:
