Break the Fake-A Man Killed Six Asian Women At Massage Parlors

March17

This article I found on Buzzfeed News’ Instagram shows a recent shooting at a three massage parlors in the Atlanta area. I knew there was a shooting near there but I wasn’t completely sure if  it was true.

  1. There’s a blue check mark meaning the account’s verified.
  2. I don’t trust Buzzfeed because sometimes they just take trending rumors and make it into a post. So I checked it on Wikipedia. It turns out majority of people agree with me because it says on here that ‘BuzzFeed was viewed as an unreliable source by the majority of respondents.’                                    
    1.  Next, since Buzzfeed was a unreliable source, I went on Snopes and checked if the article was for real, and it was true! But, turns out 8 people was killed, 6 of them was asian women, which made it more depressing. good thing the guys was captured though.                                         

 

I wanted to look deeper into the story just a little more because I’m now more intrigued.

In Georgia, a 21-year-old white man, killed eight people and injured another in shootings at three massage parlors in the Atlanta area on Tuesday. The suspect, Robert Aaron Long, said that race was not a motive but the police are still investigating. ‘He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction, and sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places and it’s a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate,’ Capt. Jay Baker, one of the police said. In my opinion, he went to three different massage parlors, shot mostly Asian women and the police saying that ‘it’s too early to determine if it was racially motive’ is just an excuse. Overall, the story is somewhat true, just a couple mistakes.
