2 B: I'm genuinely afraid for my kids. There's so much hate in this country against innocent hard working Americans.

Stephanie Davis: Hate is hate, it should be a hate crime!

DaVile: Trying to murder a specific group of people strictly because they were born looking different than you is the definition of a HATE CRIME.

Ricochete: wtf, aggravated assault? bs, its attempted murder minimum.

MewGaming827 Chu: These people who have hate crimes need to be in jail their entire life.

LyfeZ0: To all victims Hate crimes are unacceptable

Mason Kungle: Never never never let him out.

Alwayz Fresh: I can't imagine living in a country where you are scared of being shot just out having lunch with friends. Neverminded going to a mall or movie theater. Stay safe, it's a crazy world.

84bruceeb: Hate crime or not, how is this not attempted murder? Aggravated assault? What a joke.

Steve Lee: prayers for the families.. end this violence!!!!! Peace!!!

JJJ: This is a hate crime. I don’t know how this can be a possible hate crime? Why isn’t this getting attention? These people were no where near harms way. Harm came to them. Why is this being overlooked and politicized…?

Kimberly Howard: Tf is wrong with people?!

Russell Kasprzyk: I don’t understand why its not attempted murder… Wtf?!?!

TT: It’s amazing how the national media has completely ignored this story, but has been broadcasting the events in Buffalo nonstop for the past week. I wonder why?

Somebody: Man they are reaching for anything that might explain this vicious hate crime. Argument with a boss? Car accident? Bull.

Gumecindo Garcia: I know a guy that doing them drugs hallucinated, for months that little men where riding under his truck trying to steal parts. He went to the FBI and sat down with an agent. They left him go! He's still out there doing crazy stuff and even driving a large construction truck, with and without a cdl. Y'all need to pray when you hit the streets, the government is very limited when it comes to these crazy people doing bad. We live in a terrible time to not live according to the Bible. Start with the Gospel of John

The Iron Body Sensei: Sad to hear that.

Dunham Music Group Jazmae Music Production Studio: Rediculous, with camera's everywhere. Dallas police should have already have that vehicle on Their radars after two prior events with that description.

Jarrod Yuki: never harm another human.

pnwmax: there’s hate coming from all parts and backgrounds of our country. the way we look at guns in America is the connection. legal or illegal, it’s what people are getting them for that we need to look at. Movies are not reflective of real life, but real life is becoming a horrible movie everyday.

Bowens0: I was just in this area yesterday. I had no idea this happened

alwayswright2011: Usual suspect! Should be charged as a “Hate Crime” what a POS! Senseless gun violence!

Logan malough: This guy is (bleep)ed up!

Crazy J: I am in Houston and always locked and ready. Thank God this perb got arrested and Good job Dallas pd.

Tom Ko: I recommend all strip malls should have hired security guards for the safety of consumers. Not a guaranteed work, but a sense of security.

Tahm 123: TO EVERY OFFICER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, EVERY USA OFFICER GET A PAY RAISE

Vladimir Jacinthe: I've learned about 4 shootings this week. There was Buffalo, two in the LA area, and now this one. Am I missing anything else because I must have?

尼安德鲁特: Literally when I walk on the street i look around in case some hater attacks

Lindsay Blair: Yea this is nuts. This country is straight up dangerous

Vans3151: I wonder why this shooting hasn’t gotten more coverage than the other?

teehud313: The devil is running rampant through these minions carrying out his evil.

treasure the time: Sounds like this guy is insane.

audreababe: Now y’all scared smh y’all are despicable sometimes. You should have been scared in Texas

G Doll: to all victims

Shirley Lambey: They start again with their foolishness

Q's News and Entertainment: There's so much same race killings daily in our country, which is horrible in itself... But I absolutely disdain our media and some politicians for stoking the flames of hate and separation daily ..selectively..Instead of seeing the underlying issues of the overall level of violence in our country. When you make people scrap for a living and fight for survival in a land that should be abundant for all who work for it, and contribute to society, These issues will only worsen, ..The tighter the restraints get on a decent life and our basic needs. It's not the guns fault either, it works as designed..Society is being poisoned with hate through the very same people who claim to be helping us (some politicians) and through our mainstream media. We need community, we need opportunity, we need a future worth striving for..and you can't do that by demeaning your fellow man to get there. I'm a Republican and I approve this message!

Somebody: You gotta talk about the car accident? DO YOU?

Xtreme Niazi Gaming: Thanks god he is caught

Antho: More hate crimes wtf !

Kent Aarstad: "black pepoo cant be racist" jeremy: Hold my kool aid.

// pLUS: WoW so my first time hearing about this and a real HATE CRIME. BUT BUFFALO WAS INSTANT HATE CRIME! WTF?

Mary Wallace: At least some are still doing their jobs in TX.

yours truly PL: Yes amen

A. R.: There's always an excuse for them folks

H2Omatters11: The issues is it’s too easy to get guns in the US and the laws are too lenient with criminals. Jail is too soft and criminals looks at Jain time as vacation time…

In the name of Jesus Christ: "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17,.

Gokin Nation: and you wonder why there are stereotypes smh...it is always these usual suspects

Jess K.: *Video not for children! Watch the video you will be shocked* EVERY-DAYS.ML Let's take a moment to appreciate how much effort he puts into content for us ♥

civicsi411:

M C Hammer: Attempted murder!!! Life !!!

ABOVE God: C'mon my brothers learn to shoot and start dropping your targets give them the asian hate they been talking bout.

Lucy Vanpelt: Usual suspect , what a surprise

Kenny Obi: Wow attacking a group of people because of their race? Isn't that something the KKK would do? Then tell me ... why are so many of these perpetrators black?! I'm seriously worried about the state of the black community in America. We need to hold ourselves accountable for our actions by reminding people that anyone can be racist INCLUDING BLACK PEOPLE. We need to actually hold our own accountable when they say and do racist things. Otherwise things like this will continue and we'll be the only ones at fault. I'm so sick of this black people can't be racist mentality. Even MLK knew that this mentality was false. MLK said that anyone could be racist and that racism was unacceptable no matter the form it took.

Nghia Trinh: ✌

Freddy Gaulman: No coverage from the national media though??? Why is that exactly

BillionSkydiver: Asian mob… ??????? tf!?

larzuga1: Ezekiel 18:32 NKJV For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore turn and live!”

Kou Yang: He just had a bad day!

por lao: He will be out in a few months later.

tom EZ: Stop talking about it It doesn't fit the narrative

Justice warrior: You are disgusting Just because somebody Of Asia descent did something to you doesn't give you the right to go around hurting them People need to understand something just because you've had a series of events of issues with the particular race doesn't mean that they're all like that I have found personally Bad apples in every single group and race And it sounds like it's only going to get worse over time

larzuga1: Prayer for Salvation of Others Heavenly Father, I thank you that it is Your will for "all men to be saved and to come into the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim 2:4). I also thank you that you are long suffering to us-ward not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance" ( 2 Peter 3:9). I bind and tie up Satan and all evil spirits in man (Put a name here if for specific individual) in the name of Jesus (Mt 16:19; Mt 12:29). I loose and untie Satan's blinders which have " blinded the minds of them which do not believe" and I command the light of the glorious gospel of Christ to shine into to them to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor 4:4,6; Isaiah 45:12). I thank You as I am praying with strong desire out of urgent need that you send forth laborers into Your harvest (Mt 9:38) to preach the gospel (Rom 10:13-15). I thank you that "the entrance of Your word gives light bringing understanding to those hearing the gospel (Psalm 119:130). I thank you that the Holy Spirit is convicting them "of the sin of not believing on Jesus as Lord and Savior" (John 16:19). I thank you for sending angels to continually minister to them and bring laborers across their path continually until they receive Jesus as Lord and be born again. ( Mt 26:53; Heb 1:14) I thank you for the Salvation of the multitudes and the great harvest of souls that are being born again these last days, in Jesus name, Amen Scripture References 1Tim 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth II Peter 3:9 NKJV The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance Matthew 16:19 NKJV And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 12:29 NKJV Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. II Corinthians 4:4 NKJV whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them II Peter 3:9 NKJV The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance Isaiah 45:11 NKJV Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. Matthew 9:38 NKJV Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Romans 10:13-15 NKJV For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” Psalms 119:130 NKJV The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple John 16:9 NKJV of sin, because they do not believe in Me Matthew 26:53 NKJV Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? Hebrews 1:14 New King James Version 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
