Atlanta Asian Hate Crime Shooting

It was mentioned during an 'On The Media' segment that Georgia law enforcement was asked where are the hate crime charges, given the witness statements in the Korean-language media that as the shooter was murdering overwhelmingly Asian victims in three Asian establishments, he was yelling some version of 'I'm gonna kill all the Asians' or 'I want to kill all Asians'?

Reportedly, Georgia law enforcement claimed they did not find those allegations "credible" (nevermind the witnesses were never interviewed in Korean).

YET, Georgia law enforcement found the ridiculous claim by the shooter who murdered eight people and wounded a ninth, that he did so because of a 'sex addiction', "credible".

Not to mention the biases that have already been discovered in regards to the investigators.

This investigation is ripe to be taken over by the U.S. Attorney, and there should be a rising demand that it happens.
