Thoughts and prayers in Perry, Iowa

[Uncle Rico]

Cool.
Now 0.14 percent of mass shooters are transgender.

Cops aren't calling her transgender.  She has an extensive criminal history and based on reporting, was in a bitter custody battle where she fired her lawyer to represent herself.

She had mental health protective orders placed on her.  Cops believe the "Free Palestine" on the gun was directly related to her divorce and arguments with her husbands family.  She made anti-semitic statements according to cops.

Yet, this mentally unstable hateful person had access to a weapon capable of mass killing

the shooter in the joel osteen church was born as a man with "free palestine" on his/her rifle

I'd post the gender of every gun murderer in America but it would be a 24/7 job.

I am hoping the Elkhorn bar shooter is caught, too.   I was hoping MU would move the campus there, but now I'm scared.

I wish someone who has prior convictions of assault of a public servant, assault causing bodily injury, forgery,  theft, evading arrest, unlawful carrying weapon, failure to stop and give information wouldn't be able to have a weapon of war.

and the Houston police refuted the Libsoftiktok conclusion you echoed here. No doubt you'll acknowledge your error and make sure the acknowledgment is as widely reported as the false agitprop was.

Something something lies get around the world before something something truth, eh?

Gotta lock these crazies up. Had plenty of chances.

Where? There's a massive shortage in beds at inpatient care facilities.
Want to throw everyone in jail? There's a shortage of space there, as well.

Which criminals should we lock up?  Some are running for office

What about the other one?  The indicted one?  Probably not.  He's part of the privileged class.

I think we can all agree that neither should be allowed to possess a firearm.

wow!  come out in droves over what was originally widely reported.  correct, the houston police are not listing gender identity as a possible motive or factor in the shooting

if it turns out, jeffrey or genesse is NOT trans, then fine, but initial reports were that he/she was.  so if jeffrey was in the news saving a bag of puppy dogs on the side of the highway...or was it genesse?

and yes, who sold the gun to him/her is important as well

Why is the person's gender important?

Just a thought but maybe this should be a lesson not to jump on the first rumors to come out of a breaking news situation... especially when those rumors align with politically salient talking points and ones own preexisting biases.

Or just keep being reactionary and objectively bad at using the internet in a way that pursues accuracy. Whichever.

It's not about being accurate. It's about what you wish was accurate.

It's about jumping all over any opening no matter how vague for your preferred narrative and cowering in the bushes when the situation solidifies.

I will just never be able to get over how gleeful and quick to post some people are when there are unsubstantiated rumors that someone who is suggested to be part of a group they deem below them either committing crimes or being the victim of them.

Do you want to change this post?

Thank goodness we have extra police in the NYC subways to catch fare evaders or there might be a shooting

  i know, really...no one on here has ever done that before


it was being WIDELY reported.  i really don't care if person as a martian!  it was a tragic incident all around.  the media confusion probably arose from the names genesse referred to herself as.  let's just say she was a bad bad person, especially putting a child in harms way

Not sure anyone was leaping to the shooters defense or saying she wasn't a bad person...
