IT IS CHINESE VIRUS NOT ASIAN VIRUS, STUPID.

ICHEOKU says people should please leave Asian people alone because they are not Chinese, admitted Chinese people are also Asians. The controlling word is China virus and not Asian virus. It was the Chinese who brought the coronavirus pandemic to the world and caused the untoward tragedy which befell the entire world. So, any responsibility for the coronavirus pandemic should be strictly placed on China and not the entire Asia as they too were equally impacted by the Chinese Wuhan virus. Therefore it is wrong to collectively hold all Asian people liable and adjudge them guilty for causing the coronavirus which have killed more than half a million American people and nearly two million people globally. 

But nobody should be killed regardless because neither Chinese people nor other Asian people living in America were responsible for releasing the coronavirus from the laboratory in Wuhan China. If anyone must be held accountable for the scourge, it is President Xi Jinping and his government in Beijing as well as those they placed in charge of the laboratory in Wuhan. Some Asian and Chinese people in America equally lost their lives to the pandemic and nobody should add insult to their injury by singling out the rest of them for yet another victimization. They have enough pain already and killing any of them because of the coronavirus is just an intolerable abominable act. It is a relief indeed that the Asians killed in Atlanta were not killed because of their race as a result of the coronavirus. But for the sake of discussion and playing the devil's advocate, assuming the murders were motivated by hatred of those who caused the coronavirus outbreak, then the killer must have killed the wrong Asians because Koreans are not Chinese. 

ICHEOKU is convinced and believes the killer when he said that sexual addiction drove him into killing those people who helped propagate his addiction in an effort to cleanse his demon. It might sound unreasonable to a rational mind but we should judge the situation based on the obviously demented mind of the killer, admitted his rationalization is wrong. He is by every indication a mentally challenged individual who needs physiatrist intervention followed by a long banishment to a mental asylum. He is a sick individual who was addicted to sex and who unreasonably believed that by killing those people who facilitated his addiction that he will beat the habit. The reasonableness of his thinking is the only issue here, but not that some Asians were his victims and thus made it an anti Asian killings.

The killer could have gone to China Town or Chinese restaurants, but he did not; which shows that the killing was not the Chinese coronavirus pandemic related. Also if the killer was targeting Asian people in particular, he would have been more random with the killing, but it appears that he specifically targeted just the three massage parlors where he struck; possibly, places where he patronized to satisfy his insatiable sexual proclivities which according to him was a demon which he wanted to exorcise by killing the purveyors of sex. There are other Spa and Massage parlors scattered around the neighborhoods but he struck at three specific ones and he was very methodical and deliberate about his targets. This shows a scheme and deliberation which further buttresses his assertion that it was not a racially based killings. 

We are speaking of logical reasoning here. Koreans are not Chinese, admitted both are Asians and they too often make this clarifications themselves. Asians did not give the world the coronavirus disease, the Chinese did; so any fallout arising from the pandemic should have been specifically Chinese targeted and not the entire Asian community. So, Asians should stop  linking the killings to the coronavirus because they are not related. Also they should endeavor to  redirect their energies to enlightening the world, which is mad at China for what they did, that Chinese people do not represent the entire Asians. That if anyone ought to be punished or held responsible for the coronavirus, that it is the Chinese and not every Asian. That way any would be reaction will be specifically targeted and directed at the Chinese and not just anybody with a particular type of eye and facial contour that look Asian. 

Although it is often difficult to distinguish Asians, but Chinese people are known to concentrate  among themselves in China Towns and they also run Chinese restaurants for the most part. It is also well known that Koreans mostly run laundry and massage parlors, Vietnamese run mostly nail shops, Indians and Pakistanis run 711, motels and gas stations, while Palestines and Yemenis run corner liquor stores. Therefore it would not have been too difficult to locate any group that is specifically targeted and assuming that the Atlanta violence was due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the killer would have known better to go for the Chinese at Chhina Town and Chinese restaurants rather than the Koreans at their massage parlors. But his killing was not anti Asian racially motivated; it was a desire to cleanse himself of his sexual demonic addiction and he directed his ire at the people who provided him the easy outlet to satisfy his cravings. 

ICHEOKU says Asians should believe the killer when he said that it was sexually motivated and that it had nothing to do with their being Asian. ICHEOKU strongly believes his assertion otherwise he would not have wasted his time driving from one specific massage parlor to the other two when there are so many other such businesses around at the original place where he first struck. Even at the subsequent two places, there were many other massage and spa parlors around but he went into already earmarked ones and thereafter drove away, headed to some other ones in Florida where he supposedly had some dalliances as well. It is important that this distinctions are clearly made as it will help assuage the palpable fear within the Asian community that the Atlanta shootings targeted them because of the coronavirus pandemic. It was sexual pervasion gone wrong and not a reprisal for the China virus, period.

Meanwhile, nobody is even asking why these massage parlors are fronts for illegal sexual activities and whether they should be punished for running illegal brothels under the cover of providing therapeutic massage services. It is something the authorities in Atlanta should take a look into after all the generated hysteria dies down because so many trafficked women are forcibly used in this operations. Recall that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was once caught in a Florida massage parlor sexually indulging himself and these parlors are spread everywhere throughout the United States of America. They are flourishing without a care in the world about the law they are breaking, operating illegal brothels with trafficked women, many of who are held against their will. 

But that subject is for some other day's discussion as this is solely to underline the stated claim of the killer that he only killed to get rid of the women who were prostituting themselves and furthering his sexual addiction. It is sad that they were killed and it is also sad that mental illness foist on this mad dog such a thinking which led him to commit such heinous crimes. However, America must end the general scapegoating which often accompanies certain things such as that the killer is a white supremacist who did what he did because he hated Asians because of the coronavirus. This narrative is wrong and misleading as Koreans are not Chinese and it is also dismissive of the fact that two of the victims were not Asians. The virus came from Wuhan China and thus made it a China virus, correctly speaking and political correctness thrown aside. But nobody deserves to be killed because of it and nobody should be killed because of it and nobody was killed in Atlanta because of it.
