“It’s going to be on the minds of business owners. If one person can lash out at an Asian business, what’s to stop someone else from doing it?” ​Asian business owners across industries say they are feeling vulnerable.

New York Tran Wills couldn't talk Wednesday about the shootings at Atlanta spas a day earlier without breaking down sobbing.

"I saw myself in these women," she said."I feel I have been screaming about hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans from the beginning of the pandemic, and no one was listening."Many Asian-American and Asian business owners like Wills -- who founded the nail salon chain Base Coat Salon -- feel similarly this week in the wake of the shootings. Eight people were killed at three metro Atlanta massage parlors. Six of the victims were Asian.

Ppl r trying to make this racist activity agst Asians bc it fit narrative. This, despite he killed ppl who weren’t Asian. Unless he has evidence of hating Asians on his computer or is known to speak agst them, this crime was agst WOMEN &!by a sick man who can’t control himself

Amazing how the media wants to make this about race... This is about a lunatic with a sex obsession...

Sex addiction is a serious problem.

🙏 This racism people learn from Donald Trump, and Donald Trump learned this racism from Indian Prime Minister Modi, when he visited India for Namaste Trump function 🙏🙏

Trump incited the China virus, and BLM movement.

It wasn’t a Hate crime. It was about Sex!

STOP SPREADING HATE . YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT HE DIDNT SHOOT THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ASIAN. How do you ppl continue to listen to their lies?

The reason nobody is listening is because the numbers are so low. 6 incidents in a year

Get real CNN

Can't wait for the police to protect you or your business,. Need to have guns or security guard. We live in a crazy world.

Your involvement is interesting considering your lack of interest in the massive number of black-on-black murders in Chicago year in and year out.

I call bullshit.

Yeah ok. Every hood has a China 1 takeout with bars on the windows. Lets see them close.

USA Today reported that the shooter told authorities this wasn't racially motivated. He was targeting sex workers. Why aren't we addressing that problem as a society?

I believe that these are attacks planned by white supremacist groups, perhaps part of a larger cohort. I don't think these are isolated incidents. It's to drag us into civil war. The insurrection was just one phase. These attacks are the next phase.

The US govt is behind this Asian killings because they cannot compete with the asian community this how they are dealing driving fear into the asian business community.
