    Interesting, a Black shooter shot up a Korean hairstylist business, wounding 3, and a federal hate crime investigation has been opened up. Anyone think it will get anything close to the amount of coverage of this Buffalo shooting?

    Suspect arrested in Dallas salon shooting as FBI opens hate crime investigation


    The incident may be connected to shootings at Asian-run businesses, police said.

    Dallas police arrested a suspect in connection with the May 11 shooting of three women in a hair salon in the city's Koreatown. The incident is being investigated as a hate crime and could be linked to a series of recent shootings at Asian-run businesses in the city, police said.

    The salon owner, an employee and a customer are all Korean, according to ABC affiliate station WFAA in Dallas. The women suffered nonfatal injuries and were transported to a local hospital, according to police.

    Police said Tuesday morning that a suspect, who was not named, was in custody and that further information on the arrest will be provided by Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia later in the day.

    The FBI is investigating the incident as a hate crime.

    “The Dallas FBI Field Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District in Texas, and the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice have opened a federal hate crime investigation into the incident at Hair World Salon in Dallas,” a spokesperson for the FBI field office in Dallas told ABC News in a statement on Monday. “We are in close communication with Dallas Police and are partnering together to thoroughly investigate this incident. As this is an ongoing investigation, we are not able to comment further at this time.”

    Police met with members of the community at a town hall in Koreatown on Monday amid concerns for the public's safety.


    Two of the shooting victims – the owner and an employee – were present at the meeting, according to WFAA. The employee spoke with the help of an interpreter and her was face covered. The women did not reveal their names.

    Garcia said at a press conference on Friday that law enforcement “concluded three recent shootings of Asian run businesses may be connected” and the suspect in each incident was driving a similar vehicle.
    Police said they learned from a witness report that an unknown Black male parked what appeared to be "a dark color minivan-type vehicle" on Royal Lane and then walked across the parking lot and into the establishment, allegedly opening fire as soon as he entered the salon.

    Police also released a security image of a maroon minivan they said the gunmen fled the scene in.

    Garcia said the shooting at the salon may be linked to one that happened a day before and one that took place last month.

    Police learned from witness reports that on April 2 a driver in a red minivan drove past a strip mall of Asian-run businesses and fired shots at three businesses. No one was injured.

    On Tuesday a suspect in a burgundy van or car drove by and shot into Asian-run businesses near 4849 Sunnyvale Street, police said.

    “Out of an abundance of caution, we have reached out to our partners to make them aware of the possible connection and ask for their assistance,” Garcia said. “This includes the FBI and member agencies of the Joint Terrorism Task Force. We are also working with North Texas police partners to determine if this criminal action has or is taking place in their jurisdictions.”

    Garcia said police will be increasing the presence of high visibility patrol officers in areas in the city where there are large Asian American populations.

    “We are turning to every resident of the city of Dallas to keep an eye out and safeguard our city,” Garcia said. “Hate has no place here.”

    These incidents in Dallas come amid a spate of attacks targeting Asian Americans across the nation, which spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    I have noticed in my local media there has been little mention of the white victims.

    I also observe the usual suspects who show up after events like this are starting to show in Buffalo.

    Yup! Ship us as many Little Marcos and Lyin' Teds as you can find.

    And this is why conservatives never took this witch seriously. It had nothing, or very little, to do with Trump. Eventually they show their true colors...

    Meanwhile, 33 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago, 5 of them fatally.

    33 Shot During Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago (breitbart.com)

    But of course those are black people shooting each other, so the media and the Democrats don't care.

    The argument is essentially that concern over declining rates of white people in the US appears popular on the right. (I don't see how this is particularly consistent with Christianity, but it's a far cry from supporting violence, and they were unable to find anyone who praised the shooter.)

    For obvious reasons, they shouldn't want to go down the road of wanting to force everyone to claim any loosely ideological allies. They've already committed themselves in principle to claiming ecoterrorists.
    From what I've seen, that belief is but a small minority of the political right. The problem is that that number is overblown because the left classifies (and will do it even more now) anyone against illegal immigration for any reason as part of that fringe class. There are a lot of reasons to object to illegal immigration that have nothing to do with race. It's just like the left accusing (projecting really) anyone on the right as being racist or white supremacists for no reason, when in reality, actual white supremacists like Biden are rare. There's never any nuance or objectivity in their judgement.

    My friend, you appear to have read none of the thread to this point.

    Were you this upset when an avowed black racist ran down a slew of white people killing six and injuring sixty? Or is your outrage selective?

    What has become mainstream right-wing propaganda, kills blacks:

    We can begin with “replacement theory,” the idea that there’s a coordinated effort from elite Americans to replace native-born voters with immigrants to gain an electoral advantage. In December, the Associated Press and NORC conducted a national poll evaluating the extent of belief in this idea. Nearly half of Republicans said they at least somewhat agreed this was happening. More than half said they thought immigrants came to the United States to some degree because they wanted to influence our elections.

    Where did this idea come from? The idea of a deliberate effort to “replace” native-born voters — read, White voters — with immigrants was long a staple of the racist right-wing fringe. But with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson explicitly elevating the idea in early 2021, it became an acceptable part of Republican rhetoric from rank-and-file House Republicans, members of House Republican leadership and state executives.
    Republicans are sick - vote Democrat, and stop the killing.

    Rolling Stone makes the case that this guy was a mainstream Republican.
    The kid who called conservatism 'corporatism in disguise' and who stated he was a strong proponent of communist ideology until the last few years and moved 'right' to become 'mild-moderate authoritarian left' and said he was an 'eco-fascist'..... is a mainstream Republican.......?
