2021-03-18 19:29:03 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

No evidence that the attacks were racially motivated as per both the suspect and police. It's misleading to twist the suspects targeting of individuals motive as a 'racially charged attack". Given the show that producing this spin, it's obviously intentional. https://www.salon.com/2021/03/17/atlanta-gunman-who-shot-dead-8-people-in-asian-spa-shooting-spree-says-it-wasnt-racially-motivated/
