0:42.0	Hi, Flamethrowers.
0:43.5	We here at Burn It All Down are heartbroken and outraged by the violent racist attack last week in Atlanta, Georgia, at three Asian spas, which killed eight people, including six Asian women. Over the course

2:13.1	these more violent manifestations. And this is the time that we find ourselves in right now.
