我見 我思 我聞

亞城悲劇 震驚全國

位於亞特蘭大市郊附近的三家按摩院, 週二下午被一名二十一歲的白人兇手羅伯朗在店內槍殺了八名工作人員，其中六名是韓裔亞洲人，目前兇手已經被捕，他告訴警方自己是一名色情狂徒，他也是這三家按摩店之常客。

此兇殺案也震驚了拜登總統，一般認為值此反華亞裔情緒高張之時，可能會涉及種族歧視，但是，警方已查明這位年轻兇嫌是名色情狂，最近才被家人驅出家門，應該和種族歧視無關，

今天在南韓訪問的國務卿布林肯也向韓國当局表示哀悼。

事發之後，引起了亞城及全國亞裔社區之高度關懷和恐慌，近月來，全美各地反亞裔之仇視事件已經層出不窮，一股對華亞裔之反對浪潮正在各階層酝釀，即便是在聯邦和地方政府之不斷呼籲，那些右翼種族份子還在不斷渲染新冠病毒是來自中國之病毒。

當新冠病毒還在我們社區繼續蔓延之時，社會治安不斷惡化，我們要嚴防反亞裔事件之上演，也呼籲大家要立即報案絕不能吞聲忍氣。

我們要向受害人之家屬表示哀悼，對兇嫌一定要嚴厲處置，還給我們亞裔社區一個公道。

We Hope The Bloody Murders Were Not Racially Motivated 

A twenty-one year old white man went on a rampage at three spas in the Atlanta area Tuesday afternoon killing eight people. Six of them were of Asian decent.

Investigators said they had not ruled out racial bias as a motivating factor even though the suspect denied any racial animus.

The gunman told the police that he had a “sexual addiction” and had carried out the shooting at the massage parlors to eliminate his “temptation.” The authorities charged Robert Aaron Long, 21, on Wednesday with eight counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault in connection with the shootings.

We are here to urge our Asian community to be united to meet the challenge. President Biden also expressed his concern about the shooting in Georgia while renewing his concerns over a recent surge in violence against Asian-Americans. The president said, “At this very moment so many of them, our fellow Americans, they’re on the front line of this pandemic trying to save lives, yet also in fear for their own lives just walking down the streets in America. It’s wrong, it’s un-American and it must stop.”

This is the time all of our leaders need to call emergency meeting talks about this serious issue. We need the people to understand how to protect our community.
