Welcome to Thursday, March 18th, season and single-ticket holders...
A suspect is in custody after a string of shootings at three Atlanta-area massage parlors that left eight people dead, including six Asian women.
While Atlanta police are saying alleged killer Robert Aaron Long was targeting massage parlors and "some type of porn industry," the attacks have brought renewed attention to hate crimes against Asian Americans.
Vice President Kamala Harris expressed solidarity with the Asian American community. The first South Asian, Black, and female vice president said:
"I do want to say to our Asian American community that we stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged all people. But knowing the increasing level of hate crime against our Asian American brothers and sisters, we also want to speak out in solidarity with them and acknowledge that none of us should ever be silent in the face of any form of hate."
How do you feel about the Atlanta shootings?
