Live updates: Suspect in Atlanta-area spa shootings that left eight dead might have frequented businesses, authorities say (msn.com)

Sounds like the shooter hated himself for his sex addiction and decided to remove further temptation.  The victims being Asian wasn't a factor.  The shooter couldn't control his penis or his gun.

Police arrested Robert Aaron Long, 21, after a brief manhunt and said he is the suspect in all three shootings. Authorities said Long took responsibility, and they believe he acted alone. “He made indicators that he has some issues, potentially sexual addiction, and may have frequented some of these places in the past,” Sheriff’s Capt. Jay Baker said at a news conference. “We still have a lot of things to process.”

Baker later added that in their interview with Long, 21, the suspect indicated that the spas were “a temptation” for him. “It’s a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate,” Baker told reporters. “It’s still early on, but those were comments that he made.”

...

• Baker said Wednesday that Long claimed during interviews that the acts of violence Tuesday were not racially motivated. Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said that it remains unclear whether the shootings could be classified as a hate crime.
  

Yea and? His motive did not change the fact he got access to those firearms.

He bought those firearms just hours before he did what he did. A waiting period might have caused him to rethink his actions.

My point - which of course flew right over your head - is that it's thought at this time not to be a hate crime.  

You were probably correct on the super-religious nature of the guy since he didn't know how else to deal with temptation but to eliminate it, I guess prayer wasn't helping.

I didn't address guns or no guns...you can carry on with someone else on that argument.
