Protest Planned in Atlanta to #StopAsianHate

by

ATLANTA — After a week of pain, fear and mourning, Georgia’s capital city will host a downtown march and rally on Saturday to protest the killing of eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, by a gunman who targeted three Atlanta-area massage businesses.

The event, set for 1 p.m. in a park next to the State Capitol, is being billed as a #StopAsianHate event that will allow people to “come together to grieve, heal and support.” It comes a day after President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited with Asian-American community leaders in a city that is still reeling after the Tuesday attacks.

“We were reminded, yet again, that the crises we face are many — that the foes we face are many,” Ms. Harris said in a speech after the meeting on Friday.

She added: “Racism is real in America and it has always been. Xenophobia is real in America, and always has been. Sexism, too.”

a longtime member of a conservative Baptist church that prohibited sex outside of marriage. He had checked into a rehab clinic for self-described sexual addiction but continued to struggle. A man who was his roommate in a halfway house from August 2019 until early 2020 said that Mr. Long admitted that he continued to visit massage parlors for sex.

The Atlanta Police said that Mr. Long had been a customer at two of the spas he later attacked, though it was not clear whether he sought anything more than a massage at the two businesses.
