Recent shooting in small town British Columbia that is making news for all the wrong reasons.
The shooter was a troubled transwoman. From what I have been able to gather thus far she was cyber bullied. The one pictured showed someone that had been through male puberty even though she supposedly transitioned at age 12 then quit the school two years later.
The victims were either adults, two, or children around the same age as her step brother 12.
Small remote redneck Canadian town.
Repeated calls for police which included suicide. Guns.
With all the anti trans movements on social media and the news, young trans person, that may or may not have had hrt at right time. How many more of these self destruction young transpeople videos and school shootings have to take place?
How much more stress does everyone need before we all pop and go down in blazes of glory? Be it singular people or countries at war?
I see it all happening like dominoes falling and everyone else seems oblivious to it.

Rush To Judgement
There "was" and "is" a lot going on with the reports of the shooting. Several things will be constant, bad news sells There will be the usual outcry from those who insist transgender is a mental disease. The world needs to return placing all of them in mental institutions before they harm anyone. There will be the usual screaming from the 'guns are killers' crowd with the rant no individual should be allowed to own one. Group guns and transgender murder together and we have winning headlines selling newspapers, bloggers screaming so more will join their blog, and politicians trotting out their dog and pony show for more power and donations.
And the mass public will suck it all in without question like a dry sponge dropped into a wet sink. https://www.wionews.com/photos/canada-school-shooter-transge...

Barbie Jean, I'm too old for this Merry Go Round. Any aliens out there still abducting people off this big blue marble?

I'm sure there will be some who will say that this just proves all trans are gun-happy psychopaths and have to be controlled, medicated or brainwashed - based upon a single instance.
Why do people have to go off the deep end based on one, single occurrence of <something bad>? Do people not have critical facilities any more?
I can see that no good will come of this.
Dogs have owners; cats have staff. Grand-daughters have minions.
I will probably be censored for this but…
I have been following the news from south of the border and am wondering…
Would that be like saying ALL ‘ICE’ agents are trigger happy, murdering psychopaths?

Refute. Don't Censor.
Did you notice any difference? Both Minneapolis murders were committed during official ICE business. Both had multiple officers surrounding them, at minimum not interfering but also deterring others from interfering. Remember ICE ransacking a Chicago apartment complex -- "Fuck the children!" ICE kidnapped a 5yo child. ICE was known for abducting people and trafficking them to a distant slave gulag and a Cuban concentration camp. How many citizens did they grab? How many did they beat up?
ICE is enemy military.
When you read "Cuban concentration camp" do you think of Communist concentration camps? Or Guantanamo?
Did anyone psychotically gloat over Alligator Auschwitz -- excuse me, Alligator Alcatraz? (I had a third alliterative name, but I've unfortunately forgotten it.)

Traded Text With THe Girls Who Were There
You probably won't be able to find the truth about the girls who were diagnosed with transgender mental illness and institutionalized. Let me share with you what those girls went through in the Asylum Clinics. Treatment to cure them was repeated shock treatment. They were injected with mind blowing drugs not allowed on humans. They were lobotomized to remove the transgender part of their brain. It worked as they were turned into mindless zombies.
Trading text with a couple of the girls who were "cured" and allowed to return home for a visit. They fled the first chance they got. Fled from family who had committed them, headed to San Francisco, the LGBT community. I never heard from either one again. I pray they found a life away from the family and society wanting to destroy them because they were different. All this was in the United States and was happening up until the early sixties.
When one reads about, hears, or watches on TV about those freaks, abominations, the mentally deranged who "believe" they were born in the wrong body? Keep in mind we are a soft, open, visible target for hate. So many girls who were outed by the tabloid news had their lives destroyed no matter how well they embodied the beautiful women they were. I knew her, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahna_Steele, and so many others.
Sadly Trump, Musk, the super market tabloids fuel the hate, the lies by focusing only on the ones who did something wrong. Sometimes I question if humanity is ever going to be intelligent and civilized? We have had a long run at hate since Cain slew Able. Then I remember all the ones who have been a gift, a blessing to not only us but all of humanity because they lived their lives and shared with everyone.

Statistics show that…….
Some 97.5% of mass shootings in the United States are performed by males, another 2% by females, and slightly less than .5% by those who are transgender.
As roughly 1% of the total population in the United States identifies as transgender, this means that statistically transgender people are under represented amongst those who commit mass shootings. On the other hand, males represent roughly 49% of the population - meaning that males are vastly over represented in that group.
The issue here is that whenever the perpetrator is transgender, it becomes sensationalized. Whereas, when the shooter is male, it is just another incident. Even though almost every mass shooter is male, no one cares. It is just another shooting, and the MAGA assholes, along with the so-called Christian Right, and all of the other anti-trans bigots just forget about it. After all, like Charlie Kirk said, it’s just the expected cost of being able to own firearms - right? A few kids getting shot periodically? Just the cost of being able to own an AR15.
But when the shooter identifies as transgender, well now - that’s a horse of a different color! Those evil transgender people must be put down!!
The hypocrisy just never ends.
Like the old saying goes - dog bites man is old news, whereas transgender person bites dog…….. well there’s your headline!
Which brings up another point - how many times have you seen a story in the local news about animals being mistreated? Or a commercial asking for money to help mistreated or unwanted animals? But when was the last time you saw anyone advocating to help out transgender youth, or transgender people victimized by crime, or transgender people living in poverty because they can’t find a decent job? Or get proper healthcare?
MAGA cares more about their pets than they do about transgender people.
FYI - Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery were the two men who founded Turning Point USA. They both advocated against social distancing and masks during the COVID 19 pandemic; Montgomery died of Covid 19. They also both advocated against gun control laws; Kirk died of a gunshot wound. Ironic isn’t it? The very things they opposed might have saved their lives.
