Every main stream source I have read or watched has had the fact that the shooter was trans front and center. Also they report the shooter had a grudge against the school as they were forced to go there as a child. So try again on your click bait statement it has been buried.

One of the early reports I saw indicated "identified as trans". Every single subsequent one said the shooter was a female, with absolutely no mention of "identified as" or "trans".

What I don't understand is why did the media even think it was necessary to mention this was done by a trans? Trying to create some sort of narrative?


Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

I think they are making a deal out of the trans angle to quietly point out that is why it happened. I may be wrong but I don't think transitioning has anything to do with why this happened. I think there were deep issues at work and the manifesto they found will probably help answer the questions.

A fair question. My thoughts are to be consistent. If a trans person does something good, say wins teacher of the year or jumps in a river to save a drowning child should the trans angle be mentioned? If so then it should also be mentioned when they do something bad.
It should be one or the other.

The media is having a hard time with this one.

Some just calling the shooter a “resident.” Some refer to the shooter as “they.”

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-blog/rcna76861

We do know these two indisputable facts:

1. The shooter had mental problems.
2. The shooter is a biological male identifying as a female.

Oh, and if the victims were trans, the media would point that out. So why not the shooter?
Oh Jesus, you are more of a victim than Bryce.

Who cares? What a worthless human you are.

3 nine y.o. children and 3 teachers were killed with an assault rifle at the hands of a mentally ill adult. This happened in a school; a place to learn and be safe.

Here's the big picture solution to this... Let's ban rapid fire weapons designed to kill other people. We have a chance to get legislation passed in Michigan. Let's get it done.

Exactly.



Can you imagine being this stupid?:

How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking?

Everyone can stop blaming guns now.

the fact that the shooter was trans may not figure in, except in your mind, and all media outlets have reported that thew shooter was trans. You want to make it a big deal but so far only you and one wacked out member of congress are doing so.

First I'll say that my heart goes out to the families affected by this. I can't even imagine what they're going through.

But that said, this is a Politics forum, so I have to address the politics of this as well, and just from what I've read, the media's bias is very apparent in how they're reporting this. Take this lengthy CNN blog-like "update" page on the shooting:

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/nashvi ... index.html

Not once do they refer to the shooter as a "she," and only once do they mention that the shooter was a female. But here's specifically how they reported that:
Police have referred to Hale as the “female shooter” and at an evening press conference added that Hale was transgender. When asked for clarification, a spokesperson told CNN Hale used “male pronouns” on a social media profile.
Note that CNN is NOT stating as a factual matter that the shooter is a female, but rather that the police are "referr[ing]" to the shooter as being female.

NBC's lengthy update: One mention of transgender, no mention of biological gender at all. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/li ... -rcna76937

CBS News: No mention of gender whatsoever. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nashville- ... nt-school/

ABC News: Shooter "was assigned female at birth." https://abcnews.go.com/US/nashville-sho ... d=98166039

New York Times? They almost got there. They ran a story with the headline "How Rare Is It for a Woman to Commit a Mass Shooting?" but the story was quickly edited and the headline changed to "Most mass shooting suspects are male." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/us/w ... ville.html

Transgender or not, I don't care, but the media is tip-toeing around this issue so as not to rile up the LGBTQ community, and as such, this is political correctness run amuck. The shooter was a BIOLOGICAL FEMALE and that is newsworthy for the simple fact that it is almost always men who engage in mass school shootings, and the few examples of women doing this are usually with a woman acting as an accomplice to a man.

Let's ban rapid fire assault rifles. If gun advocates won't endorse better red flag laws with funding to support it, then we could look at banning all guns.

Thanks for being one of the only adults in a political discussion.

Calling out media bias is what we all should be doing.

Mainstream media: “First gay to walk on the moon. First lesbian AG. First openly gay professional athlete… Yay!”

First trans mass shooter. Mainstream media: “What? Nothing to see here! Why is this even an issue! It has nothing to do with it!”
We all know this is LL....why is he still allowed to post?

And it's never going change, doesn't matter who's in office. Anymore voting is kind of like playing the lotto when the Mega Millions jackpot goes up to 876 Millon smackaroos, everyone lines up for it but at the end of the day, you just wasted your time. Last election I remember seeing a couple signs around that said. " Please just vote" and It made me think of the old catch phrase/slogan Nike used to use " Just do it". I remember the comic Ziggy once had a play on this where it responded, " Just do what?" .

That's just it, in my lifetime I've seen one after another come along promising change. W wanted to set a new tone in Washington DC, Obama Hope and Change, Trump make America great again (I guess it wasn't before?) and ole Joe Biden building back better. Pfffffffffff! :P

Look, for a VERY VERY long time I drank the Kool-Aid and naively believed a lot of this stuff. Argued about and thought " Its going to be different this time." Sort of like Pavlov's Dog, but sooner or later old red ain't gettin fed " No chuckwagon for you!" . Then you realize..... you wasted your time and energy over nothing.

It's like George Carlin used to say something like " Forget the politician's, they are there to give you an illusion that you have a choice, you don't, you have owners, they own you, they own everything".

The lobbyists control the government, and you will never get rid of them. If I recall correctly, wasn't that the point of McCain-Feingold? yeah that fixed things.

Here is why things stay as they are and why none of those things Robert Reich mentions ever changes: Americans are fat and happy, they aren't starving or living in huts built with mud and animal dung, I mean go to Walmart, do you see anyone who likes they are from Ethiopia?

Every time I go in, there is at least one fat heffer sitting on one of those motor carts , you know that are supposed to be for the elderly or someone who is truly disabled. Not some lazy fat ass who there to buy a carton of Newports, Screaming Scillian Pizza, and cake off the day-old shelf. Then you got others with carts full of stuff they don't need anyway.

If you were to have some earthquake in this country, people would have to be starving, it would have to literally be Lord of The Flies. Even then... some people still would not wake up and smell The Folgers brewing.

An uninformed public, big money, head in the clouds, and the whole " because that's how I feel/think" is the reason why things WILL NOT change for the foreseeable future.


Ok... that was long. If you read this whole thing your awesome :D . Make it a great rest your little long day! :)

The fact is, a crazy trans person carried out a mass shooting and you can’t accept that.
