we begin into the investigation of the deadly shootings at the three spas in the atlanta area. cnn obtained new surveillance video of the moment just before the first attack. it appears the to show the shooting suspect, robert aaron long, park in front of young s asian massage. and moments later, four people were dead. in total eight people were killed at three different locations. long faces multiple charges related to the murder but many are calling on prosecutors to add hate crimes to those criminal complaints. cnn s natasha chen is in atlanta for us at one of the scenes where shootings took place. natasha, do we have any more information about what may have led up to these attacks? yes, fred, the investigation continues into his possible motive on the day after the shootings occurred. law enforcement in a joint press conference told everyone in an interview with the suspect he told everyone it was an act believed to related to his sexual addiction, he said it was not ra
Is that why african-americans in detroit and milwaukee didn t vote? why her percentage with college educated women down, why union members went to donald trump? it s not why but they believe that shifted the campaign in of the last ten days or so. doing another conference call now with members of the national finance committee top toners, p palmieri and podesta and others. that s not entirely accurate. what about wisconsin? the most interesting state when you look at it. the saturday before the election in 2012, barack obama, sitting president, fighting for re-election, was in milwaukee, wisconsin. hillary clinton did not visit wisconsin, and more importantly spend money there. michigan also, so interesting. yes, the population changed in
And hope that what you ve got is enough. the people delivering the signatures rode to the state capitol from flint, detroit, benton harbor. they are asking their votes count as much as anyone else s vote counts in michigan. in essence the minority asking the majority to vote for the minority s right to have a say. african-americans in michigan have asked this question before. back in 1850, 1850, the state held a referendum on equal suffrage to colored persons. by popular vote, the majority of the state of michigan said to the minority, no. michigan considered the so-called negro suffrage issue again in 1967 and, again, the answer for michigan was no. african-americans in detroit finally celebrated in 1870 when the u.s. constitution was amended to protect minority
Of those cities? we would like to believe because of the election of president barack obama that we live in a post-racial america but i think we ve seen, thus far, with all of the racial slurs and the racist jokes, even the joke that has recently come out from a federal judge in montana that we don t live in a post-racial society. public act 4 has been implemented in a way where over 50% of the african-americans in michigan, their vote is null and void. benton harbor, flint, highland park, coming to detroit, so i do believe there is a racial component to the implementation, but not just race but also class, because african-americans and then low income communities. so we must stand up and fight not for the black right to vote, not for the white right to vote, but for the citizens right to vote. in the abstract, i feel this is one of those issues i mostly want to yell every sentence, i
After he pushed through that bill. ohio, wisconsin, the third of those three states was michigan. michigan had probably the most radical idea in republican governance. republicans in the state of michigan revamped the emergency manager law in the state, one person can rule unilaterally, over whole towns and school districts. your vote doesn t count anymore at governor rick snyder s say-so, one overseer can fire the officials your town elected, sell off your town s property, it can even move to dissolve your town. no vote. you don t get a say. when you add up the places they are using the law or threatened to use the law, public act 4 in michigan has been on pace to strip local voting rights, local democracy from more than half the african-americans who live in michigan. e own good. democracy must go. change. a group of activists is trying to put michigan s bill up for a citizens recall.
